It's worth noting that we currently run kakfa at LinkedIn with a 5G heap 
(not 3G, still using the CMS GC though - should update that), and the 
info on that wiki is aimed at 0.7.  

We are actively working on things for 0.8 - don't have a 'this works for 
us', much less a 'recommendedation' there (hopefully will have something 
on that side soon). 

Every thing else on that wiki looks to be in the right ballpark.
