Hi Anindya, Currently, setting transaction.id in producer props won't enable transactions. Users need to set --transaction-duration-ms to enable transactions in kafka-producer-perf-test.
We recognize this can be confusing, so there's a JIRA ticket for it: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16900 I've submitted a pull request to address this issue. With the update, users can enable transactions by either: - Setting transaction.id=<id> via --producer-props - Setting transaction.id=<id> in the config file via --producer.config - Setting --transaction-id <id> - Setting --transaction-duration-ms=<ms> I believe this will resolve your issue. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to share them on the PR or JIRA.
