Description
From initial investigations it has been found that rebalances could potentially be the reason for some of our consumers having high memory usage. Added a script which mimics the behavior. I can also see the increase in memory usage locally. This will make it easier to triage the problem by potentially using memory profiler locally.
The script uses a parameter
-g
optionally to generate spans on the topic. If you need data, then run with that option. It always resets offsets to 0 between re-runs. So if you have enough data on kafka, you do not need to pass the-g
option.Logs of running the script and seeing memory increases
On my machine, I was able to use up more than 2GB of memory easily.
Verfification that rebalances were being triggered
