John Roesler commented on KAFKA-7214:
-------------------------------------
Since you do not have an OutOfMemoryException in your logs, I can only assume
your application did not run out of memory. How can we report "out of memory"
if the application is not actually out of memory?
Your problem seems to be caused by long GC pauses, not running out of memory,
but we cannot confirm this, since you have not reported your GC logs. You can
enable GC logging (the JVM provides an option to do this) to investigate the
problem further if you really wish to run the app in a memory constrained
environment.
Every aspect of the application's runtime performance, including memory, will
be dominated by what exactly your application does and what data it's
processing. There's no fixed amount of "overhead" in Kafka Streams. Two
different topologies will have different amounts of overhead based on the
computations they need to do.
Honestly, I think the procedure you have followed to set your heap size is
perfectly fine. It's very similar to what I would have done. If you really need
to come up with a formal characterization of the memory usage for _your_
topology in terms of throughput, it's something that can only done by you. The
approach I'd recommend is to run with a few different configurations and
analyze the heap dumps at a few different points in the lifecycle.
This is the same procedure you would follow to characterize the required heap
for any Java application, not just Streams.
