Major Description
I am building a Java Project which using Maven dependency Kafka-clients with 3.7.0 version.
My Java application logic is to use Kafka Consumer to poll Kakfa broker topic continuously.
I have configured my Java application with JVM options with -Xms8G -Xmx8G -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=4G, and then run it.
Also, there are 16G physical memory on my virtual machine.
After my Java application running a long time, I have found that resident memory of the Java Process was being grown to more than 14G.
In the end, the Java process ate Swap space.
I checked it with jmap -heap pid, and found heap memory usage is Ok.
Also with Native Memory Tracking [jcmd pid Native.memory detail.diff], I found that it's caused by [NMT Internal] memory, which created by Unsafe_allocatememory xxx.
In my Java application, I don't use any NIO DirectByteBuffer to allocate memory.
And I check it the Kafka-clients source code, it have codes with use "sun.misc.unsafe" to allocate memory. And MaxMetaspaceSize not work for it .
Could you help to check it? How could I to stop this growing native memory to avoid my System hang?
