KAFKA-4432: Added support to supply custom message payloads to perf-producer script. Current implementation of ProducerPerformance creates static payload. This is not very useful in testing compression or when you want to test with production/custom payloads. So, we decided to add support for providing payload file as an input to producer perf test script. We made the following changes: 1. Added support to provide a payload file which can have the list of payloads that you actually want to send. 2. Moved payload generation inside the send loop for cases when payload file is provided. Following are the changes to how the producer-performance is evoked: 1. You must provide "--record-size" or "--payload-file" but not both. This is because, record size cannot be guaranteed when you are using custom events. e.g. ./kafka-producer-perf-test.sh --topic test_topic --num-records 100000 --producer-props bootstrap.servers=127.0.0.1:9092 acks=0 buffer.memory=33554432 compression.type=gzip batch.size=10240 linger.ms=10 --throughput -1 --payload-file ./test_payloads --payload-delimiter , 2. Earlier "--record-size" was a required config, now you must provide exactly one of "--record-size" or "--payload-file". Providing both will result in an error. 3. Support for an additional parameter "--payload-delimiter" has been added which defaults to "\n" You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/SandeshKarkera/kafka PerfProducerChanges Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2158.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #2158 ---- commit af6c6d910ae3915c769ebac326ade329a724cda4 Author: Sandesh K <sandesh.kark...@flipkart.com> Date: 2016-11-22T11:08:03Z KAFKA-4432: Added support to supply custom message payloads commit df278060a04fa844f150f30ae534a310c47c0eb3 Author: Sandesh K <sandesh.kark...@flipkart.com> Date: 2016-11-22T15:53:52Z KAFKA-4432: Fixed checkstyle issues ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
