java, oom, gc stop the world
In the wild, what sort of memory usage patterns have you guys seen with
kafka?
I'm not that well versed with java and its memory/gc issues, what have you
guys experienced with your production brokers? (assuming consumers and
producers are not that much of an issue).
How do you determine how much memory to allocate to a given broker? Is it
based on factors such as:
1. producers are mostly using batch versus single messages
2. messages per second
3. size of message payload
4. # of consumers connecting to a given broker
etc.
Is there a "magic" forumula?

It's worth noting that we currently run kakfa at LinkedIn with a 5G heap
(not 3G, still using the CMS GC though - should update that), and the
info on that wiki is aimed at 0.7.
We are actively working on things for 0.8 - don't have a 'this works for
us', much less a 'recommendedation' there (hopefully will have something
on that side soon).
Every thing else on that wiki looks to be in the right ballpark.
