John Roesler commented on KAFKA-7660:
-------------------------------------
Aha! Thanks for the heap dump, [~pkleindl].
It turns out that there's a data structure in the Metrics class that keeps a
mapping from parent to children. When a child sensor is removed, we failed to
remove it from this data structure, keeping the references to every child the
parent has ever had, until the parent is removed.
I've submitted [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5974] to fix it. Feel free
to review it / comment if you have a github account.
Thanks again in you help with this issue!

> Key: KAFKA-7660
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7660
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: metrics, streams
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Patrik Kleindl
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: Mem_Collections.jpeg, Mem_DuplicateStrings.jpeg,

> During the analysis of JVM memory two possible issues were shown which I
> would like to bring to your attention:
> 1) Duplicate strings
> Top findings:
> string_content="stream-processor-node-metrics" count="534,277"
> string_content="processor-node-id" count="148,437"
> string_content="stream-rocksdb-state-metrics" count="41,832"
> string_content="punctuate-latency-avg" count="29,681"
>
> "stream-processor-node-metrics" seems to be used in Sensors.java as a
> literal and not interned.
>
> 2) The HashMap parentSensors from
> org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.internals.StreamThread$StreamsMetricsThreadImpl
> was reported multiple times as suspicious for potentially keeping alive a
> lot of objects. In our case the reported size was 40-50MB each.
> I haven't looked too deep in the code but noticed that the class Sensor.java
> which is used as a key in the HashMap does not implement equals or hashCode
> method. Not sure this is a problem though.
>
> The analysis was done with Dynatrace 7.0
> We are running Confluent 5.0/Kafka2.0-cp1 (Brokers as well as Clients)
>
> Screenshots are attached.
