Hello everyone, I would like to start a discussion on KIP-1299 Use key range in ProducerPerformance <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/XpQ8G>
This proposal aims to add configurable key distribution support to kafka-producer-perf-test. Currently, the tool always produces records with null keys, which does not reflect real-world keyed workloads. This KIP introduces two new arguments — --key-distribution and --message-key-range — enabling engineers to benchmark with round-robin or random key strategies over a bounded key space, providing more realistic performance measurements. Best regards, Jiunn-Yang
