# Batch Message Sample
------
Sending messages in batch improves performance of delivering small messages. Messages of the same batch should have: same topic, same waitStoreMsgOK and no schedule support. You can send messages up to 4MiB at a time, but if you need to send a larger message, it is recommended to divide the larger messages into multiple small messages of no more than 1MiB.
### 1 Send Batch Messages
If you just send messages of no more than 4MiB at a time, it is easy to use batch:
```java
String topic = "BatchTest";
List<Message> messages = new ArrayList<>();
messages.add(new Message(topic, "TagA", "OrderID001", "Hello world 0".getBytes()));
messages.add(new Message(topic, "TagA", "OrderID002", "Hello world 1".getBytes()));
messages.add(new Message(topic, "TagA", "OrderID003", "Hello world 2".getBytes()));
try {
    producer.send(messages);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    //handle the error
}
```
### 2 Split into Lists
The complexity only grow when you send large batch and you may not sure if it exceeds the size limit (4MiB). At this time, you’d better split the lists:
```java
public class ListSplitter implements Iterator<List<Message>> { 
    private final int SIZE_LIMIT = 1024 * 1024 * 4;
    private final List<Message> messages;
    private int currIndex;
    public ListSplitter(List<Message> messages) { 
        this.messages = messages;
    }
    @Override public boolean hasNext() {
        return currIndex < messages.size(); 
    }
    @Override public List<Message> next() { 
        int startIndex = getStartIndex();
        int nextIndex = startIndex;
        int totalSize = 0;
        for (; nextIndex < messages.size(); nextIndex++) {
            Message message = messages.get(nextIndex); 
            int tmpSize = calcMessageSize(message);
            if (tmpSize + totalSize > SIZE_LIMIT) {
                break; 
            } else {
                totalSize += tmpSize; 
            }
        }
        List<Message> subList = messages.subList(startIndex, nextIndex); 
        currIndex = nextIndex;
        return subList;
    }
    private int getStartIndex() {
        Message currMessage = messages.get(currIndex); 
        int tmpSize = calcMessageSize(currMessage); 
        while(tmpSize > SIZE_LIMIT) {
            currIndex += 1;
            Message message = messages.get(curIndex); 
            tmpSize = calcMessageSize(message);
        }
        return currIndex; 
    }
    private int calcMessageSize(Message message) {
        int tmpSize = message.getTopic().length() + message.getBody().length(); 
        Map<String, String> properties = message.getProperties();
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : properties.entrySet()) {
            tmpSize += entry.getKey().length() + entry.getValue().length(); 
        }
        tmpSize = tmpSize + 20; // Increase the log overhead by 20 bytes
        return tmpSize; 
    }
}

// then you could split the large list into small ones:
ListSplitter splitter = new ListSplitter(messages);
while (splitter.hasNext()) {
   try {
       List<Message>  listItem = splitter.next();
       producer.send(listItem);
   } catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       // handle the error
   }
}
```
