I am trying to test a 3 node Kafka cluster using the producer and consumer test
perf scripts that ship with the binaries. When I am trying to enable
transaction in the producer script it runs into errors. For example:
# bin/kafka-producer-perf-test.sh --topic testtopic1 --num-records 10000
--throughput -1 --record-size 256 --producer-props
bootstrap.servers=172.18.0.4:9092,172.18.0.5:9092,172.18.0.6:9092 acks=all
transactional.id=1111 enable.idempotence=true
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot perform a
'send' before completing a call to initTransactions when transactions are
enabled.

A non-transactional test succeeds though:
bin/kafka-producer-perf-test.sh --topic testtopic1 --num-records 10000
--throughput -1 --record-size 256 --producer-props
bootstrap.servers=172.18.0.4:9092,172.18.0.5:9092,172.18.0.6:9092 acks=all
10000 records sent, 6997.900630 records/sec (1.71 MB/sec), 112.32 ms avg
latency, 499.00 ms max latency, 101 ms 50th, 206 ms 95th, 213 ms 99th, 214 ms
99.9th.
The version I am using is: kafka_2.12-2.3.0
Does the producer perf test script support transactions? If it does, how do we
run the producer with transaction support?
