Daniel Compton updated KAFKA-1517:
----------------------------------
Description:
When running the producer performance test without providing a messages
argument, you get an error:
{noformat}
$bin/kafka-producer-perf-test.sh --topics mirrormirror --broker-list
kafka-dc21:9092
Missing required argument "[messages]"
Option Description
------ -----------
......
--messages <Long: count> The number of messages to send or
consume (default:
9223372036854775807)
{noformat}
However the [shell command

doesn't say that this is required and implies that

non-required argument and set the default value to something sane like 100,000
messages.
Which option is preferable for this?
