Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-936:
-------------------------------
There is a fixed amount memory needed per topic/partition for metrics. So, if
the # partitions consumed in a consumer doesn't change, the memory needed for
metrics shouldn't grow. Since you have more than 600 partitions, could you try
a larger heap size and see if the problem persists?

> I am using kafka_2.8.0-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT version. I am running into
> OutOfMemoryError in PermGen Space. I have set the -XX:MaxPermSize=512m, but I
> still get the same error. I used profiler to trace the memory leak, and found
> the following kafka classes to be the cause for the memory leak. Please let
> me know if you need any additional information to debug this issue.
> kafka.server.FetcherLagMetrics
> kafka.consumer.FetchRequestAndResponseMetrics
> kafka.consumer.FetchRequestAndResponseStats
> kafka.metrics.KafkaTimer
