> Producer Performance Test sends messages with bytes of 0x0
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1516
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1516
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Daniel Compton
> Priority: Minor
>
> The producer performance test in Kafka sends messages with either [0x0
> bytes|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.1/perf/src/main/scala/kafka/perf/ProducerPerformance.scala#L237]
> or messages with [all
> X's|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.1/perf/src/main/scala/kafka/perf/ProducerPerformance.scala#L225].
> This skews the compression ratio massively and probably affects performance
> in other ways.
> We want to create messages which will give a more realistic performance
> profile. Using random bytes may not be the best solution as these won't
> compress at all and will skew compression times.
> Perhaps using a template which injects random or sequential data into it
> could work. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and we should just go for random
> bytes. What other options do we have? Others seem to use random bytes like
> [cassandra-stress|https://github.com/zznate/cassandra-stress/blob/master/src/main/java/com/riptano/cassandra/stress/InsertCommand.java#L39].
