Guozhang,
Correct. Even with linger.ms at 1000 ms, the metrics indicate no batching.
The KafkaProducer instance is recognizing the linger.ms setting since sending
100 records
with linger.ms=1000 then takes over 100 seconds.
Here is the test harness. There is an abstract parent class with methods to
parse the Bluemix
Message Hub (Kafka 0.9) configuration environment variable and print the
metrics.

It’s really pretty simple — but something’s not right - :)
