Shantanu Deshmukh commented on KAFKA-4493:
------------------------------------------
We are using Kafka 0.10.1.0 and our Kafka producers are consuming huge amount
of memory. Heapdump analysis showed almost 1 GB memory consumed by
*org.apache.kafka.common.network.Selector* and
*org.apache.kafka.common.network.KafkaChannel*.
Can I apply this patch for Kafka 0.10.1.0? Sorry, but I don't know much about
GIT and patching process. Please guide.
> Connections to Kafka brokers should be validated

> Key: KAFKA-4493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4493
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Priority: Major
>
> There have been a few reports of Kafka clients throwing an OOM because they
> read 4 bytes from the stream and then use that to allocate a ByteBuffer
> without validating that they are using the right security protocol or even
> communicating with a Kafka broker.
> It would be good to perform some validation in order to show a useful error
> message to the user instead of the OOM.
