Sönke Liebau commented on KAFKA-9609:
-------------------------------------
Is that really a bug though?
If I checked the record-send-total, record-error-total or byte-total metrics
for a specific topic I would expect to get the correct number reported no
matter how long ago I sent the last record to that topic.
I would say that this works as designed, even though it may not be perfect for
your use case.
> Memory Leak in Kafka Producer
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-9609
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9609
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients, producer
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Satish
> Priority: Major
>
> org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.Sender adds Topic Metrics for
> every topic that we are writing messages to but it never been cleaned up
> until we close the producer.
> This is an issue if we use single producer and have more number of Dynamic
> topics (eg: ~ 500 topics per hour) and writing messages to them. As this
> Metrics map is getting accumulated for every topic, over a period of time we
> notice the memory usage gets increased gradually.
> It can be easily reproducible by writing messages to the more # of dynamic
> topics using the same KafkaProducer from apache kafka client libraries or
> KafkaTemplate from Spring.
