I did a restart and the issue was gone. It could be that we changed the retention size and did not restart the brokers to pick up the change. Thanks for your help.

I used only one producer and compression was not turned on. The topic was newly created. The default retention size applied so each of three partitions Is 3Gb. I checked log files for all three partitions and all of them are 1.4G.

Also, what are the sizes for the other partitions? Also how many producers do you have? It could be because the producer sticks to a partition for the metadata refresh period - so if your test run isn't long enough some partitions may be more loaded than the others.
