背景
某线上日志收集服务报警，打开域名报502错误码。 收集服务由2台netty HA服务器组成,netty服务器将客户端投递来的protobuf日志解析并发送到kafka，打开其中一个应用的日志，发现如下报错：
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Expiring 1 record(s)
在排除了netty服务的错误之后，去查看kafka的日志。 发现报错，排查过程如下；
配置信息
| 系统 | kafka版本 | broker数量 |
|---|---|---|
| CentOS7.4 | 2.1.0 | 3 |
线上有三台Kafka Broker，id分别为0、1、2，服务器只部署了Kafka服务。
问题
线程是否存活
首先jps查看Kafka线程是否存活，三台机器都没问题，kafka依然在运行。
GC问题
查看kafkaServer-gc.log.1.current的日志，gc日志没发现异常。

问题排查
由于是线上应用，基本没时间排查问题，所以立即重启了三台Kafka，重启后得到缓解。
在服务正常之后，在网上搜了很多答案，有的人说是网络问题，close wait过多导致broker网络不通，从而Kafka产生脑裂问题。 在各个服务器上运行命令：
netstat -n | awk '/^tcp/ {++S[$NF]} END {for(a in S) print a, S[a]}'
结果
ESTABLISHED 172
TIME_WAIT 32
也没发现异常，等下次再出现问题时，要运行这个命令看看服务器的状态。
社区bug？
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6582
下方有人评论：We are running 2.1.1 in production (and four other environments) since March without this issue showing again.
所以找时间升级Kafka版本吧~
