ub-3 opened a new issue, #24398: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/24398
### Search before reporting - [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues) and found nothing similar. ### Read release policy - [x] I understand that [unsupported versions](https://pulsar.apache.org/contribute/release-policy/#supported-versions) don't get bug fixes. I will attempt to reproduce the issue on a supported version of Pulsar client and Pulsar broker. ### User environment * Broker version ``` Current version of pulsar is: 4.0.2 Git Revision 339b270b4cd8b46c231448f3a9492c7dcd12496c Git Branch branch-4.0 Built by Lari Hotari <lhot...@apache.org> on Laris-MBP.lan at 2025-01-03T23:52:44+0200 ``` * Broker Operating system and hardware type ``` Linux 5.15.0-89-generic #99-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 30 20:42:41 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` * Broker java version ``` openjdk version "17.0.10" 2024-01-16 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.10+7-Ubuntu-120.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.10+7-Ubuntu-120.04.1, mixed mode, sharing) ``` * Client library type `Go` * Client library version [v0.15.1](https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/releases/tag/v0.15.1) * Client Operating system and hardware type ``` Linux 5.15.0-89-generic #99-Ubuntu SMP Mon Oct 30 20:42:41 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` ### Issue Description One day(05/12 on the screenshot), I noticed that the number of entries in a bookie increased significantly. At the same time, minor and major compactions started taking much longer to complete. According to the metrics, there’s nothing unusual happening in the topics — no spikes in topic backlogs either. How can I figure out what these entries are and where they're coming from? <img width="1068" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/21687eed-18b9-4b59-a82d-4efa62a6829a" /> ### Error messages ```text ``` ### Reproducing the issue - ### Additional information _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
