I have set up my kafka cluster in a network with 9.3 Gbps links. And am using the bin/kafka-producer-perf-test.sh script to test the throughput performance of kafka for a topic which has 1 partition.
Right now I am only able to use 1.4 Gbps of network link, i.e. the script returns a throughput of 1.4 Gbps (179 MBps) My basic question is how can I increase the throughput of kafka to completely saturate the network? Thanks, Archie
