Research direction

Start by reproducing the dead-letter queue information query in Pulsar Manager and through the admin commands on Pulsar 3.0.1 while observing broker GC behavior. Trace the broker path serving this information and identify why repeated queries increase GC activity; done means the cause is isolated and the behavior is validated without significant GC fluctuations.
