Jiangjie Qin commented on KAFKA-2431: ------------------------------------- [~benstopford] It seems I am not able to access the Google doc anymore. We recently did some performance test of SSL at LinkedIn and saw some interesting results. We would like to compare that with the tests done previously. Do you mind letting us check on the previous result? Thanks. > Test SSL/TLS impact on performance > ---------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2431 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2431 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: security > Reporter: Ismael Juma > Assignee: Ben Stopford > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.9.0.0 > > > Test new Producer and new Consumer performance with and without SSL/TLS once > the SSL/TLS branch is integrated. > The ideal scenario is that SSL/TLS would not have an impact if disabled. When > enabled, there will be some overhead (encryption and the inability to use > `SendFile`) and it will be good to quantify it. The encryption overhead is > reduced if recent JDKs are used with CPUs that support AES-specific > instructions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
