Hong Liang Teoh commented on FLINK-36939:
-----------------------------------------
Marked this as an Improvement, as this is a feature request to reduce resource
utilisation during processing from an idle stream (Kinesis stream with no
records) and this does not affect functionality of the connector.
> High CPU Utilization with Flink Kinesis EFO Consumer
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-36939
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-36939
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kinesis
> Affects Versions: 1.20.0, aws-connector-5.0.0
> Reporter: Keith Lee
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: Screenshot 1734584639640.png, Screenshot

>
> Observation: When EFO is enabled, the CPU usage spikes and stays elevated,
> regardless of record volume. If we switch back to the standard polling
> consumer (disabling EFO), CPU utilization returns to normal levels.
> Profiling Results: Local profiling and flamegraphs suggest the connector may
> be engaged in a busy-wait loop, continuously parking and un-parking threads
> even when no data is available. This behavior consumes CPU cycles
> unnecessarily.
> Performance Impact: While the job still processes records correctly when they
> arrive, the high baseline CPU consumption is concerning. It wastes resources
> and triggers unnecessary scaling, which doesn’t resolve the issue since new
> instances also experience the same CPU pattern.
