             Summary: StackOverflowError on producer when splitting batches
                 Key: KAFKA-8202
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8202
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Daniel Krawczyk


Hello,

recently we came across a StackOverflowError error in the Kafka producer java library. The error caused the Kafka producer to stop.

The stack trace was as follows:
{code:java}
java.lang.StackOverflowError: null
	at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.FutureRecordMetadata.chain(FutureRecordMetadata.java:89)
	at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.FutureRecordMetadata.chain(FutureRecordMetadata.java:89)
	at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.FutureRecordMetadata.chain(FutureRecordMetadata.java:89)
	at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.FutureRecordMetadata.chain(FutureRecordMetadata.java:89)

	at org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.FutureRecordMetadata.chain(FutureRecordMetadata.java:89)

// […]
{code}
The piece of code responsible for the error:
{code:java}
/**
 * This method is used when we have to split a large batch in smaller ones. A chained metadata will allow the
 * future that has already returned to the users to wait on the newly created split batches even after the
 * old big batch has been deemed as done.
 */
void chain(FutureRecordMetadata futureRecordMetadata) {
    if (nextRecordMetadata == null)
        nextRecordMetadata = futureRecordMetadata;
    else
        nextRecordMetadata.chain(futureRecordMetadata);
}
{code}
Before the error occurred we observed large amount of logs related to record batches being split (caused by MESSAGE_TOO_LARGE error) on one of our topics (logged by org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.Sender):
{code:java}
[Producer clientId=producer-1] Got error produce response in correlation id 158621342 on topic-partition <topic name>, splitting and retrying (2147483647 attempts left). Error: MESSAGE_TOO_LARGE
{code}
All logs had different correlation ids, but the same counters of attempts left (2147483647), so it looked like they were related to different requests and all of them were succeeding with no further retries.

We are using kafka-clients java library in version 2.0.0, the brokers are 2.1.1.

Thanks in advance.
