Hi Alexey, it was "single idle Kudu Java client that created so many threads". 20,000 threads in a few days to be precise :) that code is running non-stop and basically listens to kafka topics, then for every batch from kafka, we create new kudu client instance, upsert data and close client.
the part we missed was *client.close()* in the end of that loop in the code - once we put it in there, problem was solved. So it is hard to tell if it was Java GC or something else. But ideally, it would be nice, if Kudu server itself would kill idle connections from clients on a timeout. I think Impala has similar global setting. --rpc_default_keepalive_time_ms maybe it - I will look into this.
