Hello All, I am seeing this issue very frequently when running a high volume of messages through Kafka. It starts off well, and it can go on for minutes that way, but eventually it reaches a point where the connection to Kafka dies, then it reconnects and carries on. This repeats more frequently when I have been sending messages for a while. Basically, the more messages I send, the more I see this. To give you an idea, a separate process is writing about 500k messages to the queue. I see this issue on the consumer side that is receiving those messages, after it has received about 60% of the messages. Here is the stack trace:

Not quite sure. I hope I explained it properly. I am having trouble describing it. Thanks
