If you want the full round-trip latency, you need to measure that at the
client. The performance measurement tools should do this pretty accurately.
For example, if you just want to know how long it takes to produce a
message to Kafka and get an ack back, you can use the latency numbers
reported
If one wanted to check response time for a consumer fetching a topic
message (on the client side), similar to checking an HTTP request's
response time for the web, what's the best approach to take?
I notice the kafka shell scripts if used for that have some startup
overhead if used to assess
