Swapnil Ghike created KAFKA-1017: ------------------------------------ Summary: High number of open file handles in 0.8 producer Key: KAFKA-1017 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1017 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Swapnil Ghike Assignee: Swapnil Ghike
For over-partitioned topics, each broker could be the leader for at least 1 partition. In the producer, we randomly select a partition to send the data. Pretty soon, each producer will establish a connection to each of the n brokers. Effectively, we increased the # of socket connections by a factor of n, compared to 0.7. The increased number of socket connections increases the number of open file handles, this could come pretty close to the OS limit if left unnoticed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
