Hello,
We have cloudera 7.4.4 installed on customer network with 8 Kafka broker node. When the application get used heavily the memory of all Kafka node get exhausted(more that 98%) because of the messages get stuck.
We have heap size of 4GB, 8 CPU, 32GB memory on all Kafka nodes.
$ ps -ef| grep kafka
