Under Java 8, it allocates native memory and is not affected by that setting. We have to reduce the direct memory usage by using a newer Pulsar client which has a memory-limits configuration. This issue is addressed on Pulsar, and [PIP-74|https://github.com/apache/pulsar/wiki/PIP-74%3A-Pulsar-client-memory-limits] has been created for resolving this issue. We should keep this issue open with no resolved versions until Pulsar provides a new client with memory limits. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
