Hello, We are trying to test our GCP 3 node cluster based on some testing done previously here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Performance+testing We have seen some inconsistencies in results. With 2.3.0 we are running with the following producer params(single-threaded) enable.idempotence=true batch.size=1 acks=1 Our payload size is 100K and total 1000 messages. We are always getting record expiration. So, we are slightly confused about what this perf test tool is actually doing. With the above configuration, there shouldn't be any record that will expire. The network has a latency, but that is nowhere near 30s (default request timeout). For example, this is what we get after our perf test. 1000 records sent, 2.772994 records/sec (0.26 MB/sec), 113187.14 ms avg latency, 123025.00 ms max latency, 120032 ms 50th, 121516 ms 95th, 122262 ms 99th, 123025 ms 99.9th. The rest of our producer configs are default OoB. Could anyone explain if this is reasonable/expected, or something we've misunderstood? Thanks,
