Hi,
I do producer(Kafka 0.8) throughput test many times. But the average
value is 3MB/S. Below is my test environment:
CPU core :16
Vendor_id ：GenuineIntel
Cpu family ：6
Cpu MHz :2899.999
Cache size :20480 KB
Cpu level :13
MEM :16330832KB=15.57GB
Disk : RAID5
I don’t know the detail information about the disk, such as rotation.
But I do some test about the I/O performance of the disk. The write rate is
500MB~600MB/S, the read rate is 180MB/S. The detail is as below.
[cid:image002.png@01CDF4AE.52046900]
And I adjust the broker configuration file as the official document says as
below. And I adjust the JVM to 5120MB.
I run producer performance test with the script kafka-producer-perf-test.sh,
with the test command is
bin/kafka-producer-perf-test.sh --broker-list 10.75.167.46:49092 --topics
topic_perf_46_1,topic_perf_46_2,topic_perf_46_3,topic_perf_46_4,
topic_perf_46_5,topic_perf_46_6,
topic_perf_46_7,topic_perf_46_8,topic_perf_46_9,topic_perf_46_10
--initial-message-id 0 --threads 200 --messages 1000000 --message-size 200
--compression-codec 1
But the test result is also not as good as the official document says(50MB/S,
and that value in your paper is 100MB/S). The test result is as below:
2013-01-17 04:15:24:768, 2013-01-17 04:25:01:637, 0, 200, 200, 1907.35, 3.3064,
10000000, 17334.9582
On the other hand, I do consumer throughput test, the result is about 60MB/S
while that value in official document is 100MB/S.
I really don’t know why?
You know high throughput is one of the most important features of Kafka. So I
am really concerned with it.
Thanks and best regards!

Not sure which version you are using...
In 0.7 this would happen only if there was a socket level error (i.e. can't
connect to the host). This covers a lot of cases since in the event of I/O
errors (disk full, etc) we just have that node shut itself down to let others
take over.
In 0.8 we send all errors back to the client.
So the difference is that, for example, in the event of a disk error, in 0.7
the client would send a message, the broker would get an error and shoot itself
in the head and disconnect its clients, and the client would get the error the
next time it tried to send a message. So in 0.7 the error might not get passed
back to the client until the second message send. In 0.8 this would happen with
the first send, which is an improvement.

Subject: About acknowledge from broker to producer in your paper.
Hi,
I have read your paper Kafka: a Distributed Messaging System for Log
Processing .
In experimental results part. There are some words as below:
There are a few reasons why Kafka performed much better. First, the
Kafka producer currently doesn’t wait for acknowledgements from the broker and
sends messages as faster as the broker can handle. This significantly increased
the throughput of the publisher. With a batch size of 50, a single Kafka
producer almost saturated the 1Gb link between the producer and the broker.
This is a valid optimization for the log aggregation case, as data must be sent
asynchronously to avoid introducing any latency into the live serving of
traffic. We note that without acknowledging the producer, there is no guarantee
that every published message is actually received by the broker. For many types
of log data, it is desirable to trade durability for throughput, as long as the
number of dropped messages is relatively small. However, we do plan to
address the durability issue for more critical data in the future.
But I have done a series of test. I found that ,if I shut down all the
brokers, when I send a message from producer to broker, the producer will
report kafka.common.FailedToSendMessageException . It says, Failed to send
messages after 3 tries.
[cid:image003.png@01CDF4AE.D547ED00]
If there is no acknowledge from broker, how the producer find the
sending is failed? And how it try 3 times?
Maybe, the acknowledge in your paper refers to another thing, if so
,please tell what is the meaning of acknowledge?
Many thanks and best regards!
