             Summary: ConsumerPerformance reports a throughput much higher than 
the actual one
                 Key: KAFKA-2202
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2202
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0
            Reporter: Micael Capitão
            Priority: Minor


I've been using the kafka.tools.ConsumerPerformance tool for some benchmarking 
until in one of my tests I got a throughput much higher than the supported by 
my network interface.
The test consisted in consuming around ~4900 MB from one topic using one 
consumer with one thread. The reported throughput reported was ~1400 MB/s which 
surpasses the 10 Gbps of the network. The time for the whole operation was ~8 
seconds, which should correspond to a throughput of ~612 MB/s.
Digging the ConsumerPerformance code, I've found this at line 73:
{code:java}
val elapsedSecs = (endMs - startMs - config.consumerConfig.consumerTimeoutMs) / 
1000.0
{code}
The {{consumerTimeoutMs}} defined as 5000 at line 131 is always considered 
leading to wrong results.
