title: Performance testing in Kafka
body: <p>Can someone please explain on how is performance tested in Kafka using,</p>
  
  <pre><code>bin/kafka-consumer-perf-test.sh --topic benchmark-3-3-none \
  --zookeeper kafka-zk-1:2181,kafka-zk-2:2181,kafka-zk-3:2181 \
  --messages 15000000 \
  --threads 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <pre><code>bin/kafka-producer-perf-test.sh --topic benchmark-1-1-none \
  --num-records 15000000 \
  --record-size 100 \
  --throughput 15000000 \
  --producer-props \
  acks=1 \
  bootstrap.servers=kafka-kf-1:9092,kafka-kf-2:9092,kafka-kf-3:9092 \
  buffer.memory=67108864 \
  compression.type=none \
  batch.size=8196
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not clear on what are the paramters and what is the output that should be obtained. How will I check if I send 1000 messages to Kafka topics ,its performance and acknowledgement.</p>
