Swapnil Ghike updated KAFKA-1017:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: kafka-1017.patch

This patch fixes two issues:

1. Reduce the number of open file handles on the producer: I think we can clear 
the topic-partition send-cache on the EventHandler once in every refresh 
metadata interval. This will make the producer produce to the same partition 
for say, 15 mins, for a given topic. That should be ok. The topic-partition 
send-cache will be refreshed when the metadata is refreshed.

2. There is a race condition in Producer.send() and Producer.close(). This can 
lead to reopening of a closed ProducerPool and thereby socket leaks.
                
> High number of open file handles in 0.8 producer
> ------------------------------------------------

> Reported by Jun Rao:
> 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.
