Summary: KafkaProducer.flush holds onto completed ProducerBatch(s) until flush completed Key: KAFKA-12736 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12736 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Lucas Bradstreet When flush is called a copy of the incomplete batches is made. This means that the full ProducerBatch(s) are held in memory until the flush has completed. For batches where the existing memory pool is used this is not as wasteful as the memory will already be returned to the pool, but for non pool memory it can only be GC'd after the flush has completed. Rather than use copyAll we can make a new array with only the produceFuture(s) and await on those. {code:java} /** * Mark all partitions as ready to send and block until the send is complete */ public void awaitFlushCompletion() throws InterruptedException { try { for (ProducerBatch batch : this.incomplete.copyAll()) batch.produceFuture.await(); } finally { this.flushesInProgress.decrementAndGet(); } } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
