Edward Ribeiro commented on KAFKA-2499:
---------------------------------------
Hi [~benstopford], I have a tidy bit of previous experience with synthetic data
generation. If you are not going to work on this, I can provide some additional
code if you assign this issue to me. Or I can provide you some classes for
generating those random values. Up to you. :)
> kafka-producer-perf-test should use something more realistic than empty byte
> arrays

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2499
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ben Stopford
>
> 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.
