Hi Kafka Team,

We are running multiple webapps in tomcat container, and we have producer which are managed by the ServletContextListener (Lifecycle).  Upon  contextInitialized we create and on contextDestroyed we call the producer.close() but underlying Metric Lib does not shutdown.  So we have thread leak due to this issue.  I had to call Metrics.defaultRegistry().shutdown() to resolve this issue.  is this know issue ? I know the metric lib have JVM Shutdown hook, but it will not be invoke since the contain thread is un-deploying the web app and class loader goes way and leaking thread does not find the under lying Kafka class.    Because of this tomcat, it not shutting down gracefully.

Are you guys planing to un-register metrics when Producer close is called or shutdown Metrics pool for client.id ? 

Here is logs:

SEVERE: The web application [  ] appears to have started a thread named [metrics-meter-tick-thread-1] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.
SEVERE: The web application [] appears to have started a thread named [metrics-meter-tick-thread-2] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.

Thanks,

Bhavesh
