Summary: dont waste memory allocating Struct and values objects for Schemas with no fields Key: KAFKA-9855 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9855 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.4.0 Reporter: radai rosenblatt Assignee: radai rosenblatt at the time of this writing there are 6 schemas in kafka APIs with no fields - 3 versions each of LIST_GROUPS and API_VERSIONS. under some workloads this may result in the creation of a lot of Struct objects with an Object[0] for values when deserializing those requests from the wire. in one particular heap dump we've found a significant amount of heap space wasted on creating such objects. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
