Walter Hernandez commented on KAFKA-2499:
-----------------------------------------
This is indeed duplicated by the referenced earlier ticket, where there is a
patch available; however, the patch needs a rebase (goes back to v 1.0.0 ).
In addition, the changes broke some system tests that were not resolved.
With the referenced ticket not having any activity since 2018 and already has
an associated PR, I would like to take on this effort for the latest version.
> kafka-producer-perf-test should use something more realistic than empty byte

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ben Stopford
> Priority: Major
> Labels: newbie
>
> ProducerPerformance.scala (There are two of these, one used by the shell
> script and one used by the system tests. Both exhibit this problem)
> creates messags from empty byte arrays.
> This is likely to provide unrealistically fast compression and hence
> unrealistically fast results.
> Suggest randomised bytes or more realistic sample messages are used.
> Thanks to Prabhjot Bharaj for reporting this.
