Dong Lin commented on KAFKA-2528: --------------------------------- Yeah I think that is a reasonable expectation. We have done something similar to what you have described -- in experiment 2, when 4 producers produce to a cluster of 4 brokers configured with 10 MBps quota per clientId, the broker with most traffic does have ~10 MBps total throughput. And when quota is 50 MBps the highest throughput is ~50 MBps as well. I didn't record the precision here, but I am pretty sure the deviation is < 0.5 MBps. The error is <5% for 10 MBps total traffic and < 1% for 50 MBps total traffic. I think we can say that quota enforcement is accurate when quota >= 10 MBps. However, it does appear problematic that the measured broker throughput can be 2 MBps when quota is only 1 MBps. I don't have definitive explanation yet. I will try replicate this experiment and let you know. > Quota Performance Evaluation > ---------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2528 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2528 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Dong Lin > Assignee: Dong Lin > Attachments: QuotaPerformanceEvaluation.pdf > > > In this document we present the results of experiments we did at LinkedIn, to > validate the basic functionality of quota, as well as the performances > benefits of using quota in a heterogeneous multi-tenant environment. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
