Hi, I have checked out the latest code out of https://github.com/apache/kafka based on commit id e582447adb4708731aff74aa294e7ce2b30b0a41. Looks like the performance test on the new-consumer is broken.
in/kafka-consumer-perf-test.sh --zookeeper zkip:2181 --broker-list brokerIp:9092 --topic test --messages 50000 --new-consumer The test does not return any response. Is this expected and is there a better way to test the new-consumer.
