Hello all, We’ve been running a benchmark test on a Kafka cluster of ours running 0.9.0.1 – slamming it with messages to see when/if things might break. During our test, we caused two brokers to throw OutOfMemory errors (looks like from the Heap) even though each machine still has 43% of the total memory unused.
I’m curious what JVM optimizations are recommended for Kafka brokers? Or if there aren’t any that are recommended, what are some optimizations others are using to keep the brokers running smoothly? Best, Lawrence Weikum
