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 am using 0.8-beta1. 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.

Are you on 0.8 branch or trunk? 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.
