would appreciate any help regarding the following issue:
3 instance Apache Kafka 2.11 cluster (k8s, statefulset)
KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS -Xms2048M -Xmx2048M
each VM: 4CPU, 26Gb RAM
the essence of issue: under the load constantly growing memory consumption on only 1 instance (mostly kafka-0) and as a result periodically restarts due to OOM reason. When the cluster idle the memory is still not freed.
the questions: why only one instance is under the memory pressure? and what we have to pay attention for to stabilize cluster under the load?
