Ben Stopford updated KAFKA-5178:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
There is evidence that the Kafka Producer drops performance as we increase the 
number of threads using it. 

This is based on some benchmarking done in the community. I have not 
independently validated these results.

*Effect of Shared KafkaProducer across threads*
 
Kafka documentation recommend using the KafkaProducer across multiple worker 
threads.
 
||#Producers||#Consumers||#Topics||#Partitions per topic||RoundTrip Throughput 
(events/sec)||Approx Broker Events (Millions/sec)||
|1|1|1|1|268,312|0.5|
|4|4|4|4|759,186|1.5|
|8|8|8|8|640,738|1.2|
|8|8|8|16|847,314|1.7|
|8|8|8|48|17,791|0.035|
|16|16|16|64|5,997|0.01|
 
Something appears to be wrong here, with 48 and 64 partitions the shared 
KafkaProducer struggled to the point that performance became quite bad.
