Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3554:
------------------------------------
Thanks for filing this [~becket_qin], I agree that this is important and it
came up in the following PR:
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1221
I changed the payload to be randomly generated with a smallish int range, which
I think is good enough for that PR. However, it would be great to improve it as
suggested in this JIRA.
> Generate actual data with specific compression ratio in the
> ProducerPerformance tool.

> Key: KAFKA-3554
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3554
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1
> Reporter: Jiangjie Qin
> Assignee: Dong Lin
> Fix For: 0.10.1.0
>
>
> Currently the ProducerPerformance always generate the payload with same
> bytes. This does not quite well to test the compressed data because the
> payload is extremely compressible no matter how big the payload is.
> We can make some changes to make it more useful for compressed messages.
> Currently I am generating the payload containing integer from a given range.
> By adjusting the range of the integers, we can get different compression
> ratios.
> API wise, we can either let user to specify the integer range or the expected
> compression ratio (we will do some probing to get the corresponding range for
> the users)
