Filebeat log ERR State for READER-034.log should have been dropped, but couldn't as state is not finished

Dear Filebeat experts,
my filebeat log is full of the following error messages. I am wondering what goes wrong? Thanks!

I do not know whether this is related, we use filebeat to tail the log file and send to kafka. we observed that filebeat is really slow, we allocated two CPU processors to filebeat, however, it could not keep up with the log output. its biggest throughput in 30sec is libbeat.outputs.kafka.bytes_write=1610265, which is only 53KB/s. I am wondering is this expected?
