Walter Hernandez commented on KAFKA-2499: ----------------------------------------- This indeed duplicates the referenced earlier ticket, where there is a patch available. However, this patch needs a rebase (goes back to v2.1.0). > kafka-producer-perf-test should use something more realistic than empty byte > arrays > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2499 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2499 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ben Stopford > Priority: Major > Labels: newbie > > ProducerPerformance.scala (There are two of these, one used by the shell > script and one used by the system tests. Both exhibit this problem) > creates messags from empty byte arrays. > This is likely to provide unrealistically fast compression and hence > unrealistically fast results. > Suggest randomised bytes or more realistic sample messages are used. > Thanks to Prabhjot Bharaj for reporting this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
