This is almost certainly a client bug. Kafka's request format is size
delimited messages in the form
<4 byte size N><N byte payload>
If the client sends a request with an invalid size or sends a partial
request the server will see effectively random bytes from the next request
as the size of the next message and generally reject the request (or fail
to parse it).
