Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-2010: -------------------------------- [~gwenshap], thanks for the info. Steve Miller also pointed me to the same direction. It is indeed due to kernel rate-limit on the number of RST segments it'll send. From /var/log/system.log, I do see the following entries. Mar 6 14:29:24 kernel[0]: Limiting closed port RST response from 259 to 250 packets per second Mar 6 14:29:26 kernel[0]: Limiting closed port RST response from 273 to 250 packets per second Mar 6 14:29:28 kernel[0]: Limiting closed port RST response from 260 to 250 packets per second Not sure exactly when rate limit is triggered though. I tried to reproduce this issue by keeping connecting to a non-existing port. However, the connecting still fails quickly after hundreds of tries. > unit tests sometimes are slow during shutdown > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2010 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2010 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: Jun Rao > Fix For: 0.8.3 > > > Our unit tests in trunk seem to be slower than before.
