    Description

      I have observed a slowdown in the reading of data from kafka on all of our systems when migrating from spark 2.4.5 to Spark 3.0.0 (and Spark 3.0.1)

      I have created a sample project to isolate the problem as much as possible, with just a read all data from a kafka topic (see https://github.com/codegorillauk/spark-kafka-read ).

      With 2.4.5, across multiple runs,
      I get a stable read rate of 1,120,000 (1.12 mill) rows per second

      With 3.0.0 or 3.0.1, across multiple runs,
      I get a stable read rate of 632,000 (0.632 mil) rows per second

      The represents a 44% loss in performance. Which is, a lot.

      I have been working though the spark-sql-kafka-0-10 code base, but change for spark 3 have been ongoing for over a year and its difficult to pin point an exact change or reason for the degradation.

      I am happy to help fix this problem, but will need some assitance as I am unfamiliar with the spark-sql-kafka-0-10 project.
