We ran into this issue several more times over the weekend. Basically, FDs are exhausted so fast now, we can't even get to the server in time, the JVM goes down in less than 5 minutes.
I can send the whole thread dumps if needed, but for brevity's sake, I just copied over the relevant deadlock segment, and concatenated them all together in the attached text file. Do you think this is something I should add to KAFKA-3994 ticket? Or is the information in that ticket enough for now?
