Attachment: (was: TestDetails.pdf)
> Potential Performance Degradation in Kafka Producer when using Multiple
> Threads
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5178
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5178
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ben Stopford
>
> 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. Details of the test setup attached.
> ...
> *Effect of Shared KafkaProducer across threads*
>
> Kafka documentation recommend using the KafkaProducer across multiple worker
> threads.

> Something appears to be wrong here, with 48 and 64 partitions the shared
> KafkaProducer struggled to the point that performance became quite bad.
