[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-14729) The kafakConsumer pollForFetches(timer) method takes up a lot of cpu due to the abnormal exit of the heartbeat thread

RivenSun created KAFKA-14729:
--------------------------------

             Summary: The kafakConsumer pollForFetches(timer) method takes up a lot of cpu due to the abnormal exit of the heartbeat thread
                 Key: KAFKA-14729
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14729
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: consumer
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2, 3.3.0
            Reporter: RivenSun
            Assignee: RivenSun
         Attachments: image-2023-02-17-13-15-50-362.png, jstack_highCpu.txt

h2. case situation:

1. The business program occupies a large amount of memory, causing the `run()` method of HeartbeatThread of kafkaConsumer to exit abnormally.
{code:java}
2023-02-14 06:55:57.771[][ERROR][AbstractCoordinator:1105][kafka-coor][Consumer clientId=consumer-5, groupId=asyncmq_local_us_dev-webcachesync_fcd02f8e-4f7e-4829-93ed-e8fa9cdc81f2_dev_VA] Heartbeat thread failed due to unexpected error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space {code}

2. The finally module of the heartbeat thread ` run()` method only prints the log, but does not update the value of `AbstractCoordinator.state`.
3. For kafkaConsumer with the groupRebalance mechanism enabled, in the `kafkaConsumer#pollForFetches(timer)` method, pollTimeout may eventually take the value `timeToNextHeartbeat(now)`.
4. Since the heartbeat thread has exited, `heartbeatTimer.deadlineMs` will never be updated again.
And the `AbstractCoordinator.state` field value will always be {*}STABLE{*},
So the `timeToNextHeartbeat(long now)` method will return {color:#FF0000}0{color}.
0 will be passed to the underlying `networkClient#poll` method.

 

In the end, the user calls the `poll(duration)` method in an endless loop, and the `kafkaConsumer#pollForFetches(timer)` method will always return very quickly, taking up a lot of cpu.

 
h2. solution:


1. Refer to the note of `MemberState.STABLE` : 
{code:java}
the client has joined and is sending heartbeats.{code}

When the heartbeat thread exits, in `finally` module, we should add code:
{code:java}
state = MemberState.UNJOINED;
closed = true;{code}

2. In the `AbstractCoordinator#timeToNextHeartbeat(now)` method, add a new judgment condition: `heartbeatThread.hasFailed()`
{code:java}
if (state.hasNotJoinedGroup() || heartbeatThread.hasFailed())
    return Long.MAX_VALUE;
return heartbeat.timeToNextHeartbeat(now);{code}
