This tool is used to verify the  producer  performance. To enable transactions, you can specify
a transactional id or set  a  transaction  duration  using --transaction-duration-ms. There are
three ways to specify the  transactional  id: set transactional.id=<id> via --command-property,
set transactional.id=<id> in the config  file  via  --command-config, or use --transactional-id
<id>.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help             show this help message and exit
  --bootstrap-server BOOTSTRAP-SERVER
                         The server(s)  to  connect  to.  This  config  takes  precedence  over
                         bootstrap.servers  specified  via   --command-property  or  --command-
                         config.
  --topic TOPIC          Produce records to this topic.
  --num-records NUM-RECORDS
                         Number of records to produce.
  --payload-delimiter PAYLOAD-DELIMITER
                         Provides the delimiter to  be  used  when  --payload-file is provided.
                         Defaults to new line. Note that  this  parameter will be ignored if --
                         payload-file is not provided. (default: \n)
  --throughput THROUGHPUT
                         Throttle  maximum  record  throughput  to  *approximately*  THROUGHPUT
                         records/sec. Set this to -1 to disable throttling.
  --producer-props PROP-NAME=PROP-VALUE [PROP-NAME=PROP-VALUE ...]
                         (DEPRECATED) Kafka  producer  related  configuration  properties  like
                         client.id. These configs  take  precedence  over  those  passed via --
                         command-config or --producer.config. This option  will be removed in a
                         future version. Use  --command-property  instead.  Example: --command-
                         property linger.ms=10 batch.size=32768
  --command-property PROP-NAME=PROP-VALUE [PROP-NAME=PROP-VALUE ...]
                         Kafka producer related configuration  properties like client.id. These
                         configs take precedence over those  passed  via --command-config or --
                         producer.config.  Example:   --command-property   linger.ms=10  batch.
                         size=32768
  --producer.config CONFIG-FILE
                         (DEPRECATED) Producer config  properties  file.  This  option  will be
                         removed in a future version. Use --command-config instead.
  --command-config CONFIG-FILE
                         Producer config properties file.
  --print-metrics        Print out metrics at the end of the test. (default: false)
  --transactional-id TRANSACTIONAL-ID
                         The transactional id to  use.  This  config  takes precedence over the
                         transactional.id  specified  via   --command-property   or  --command-
                         config. Note that if the  transactional  id  is not specified while --
                         transaction-duration-ms  is  provided,  the   default  value  for  the
                         transactional id will be  performance-producer-  followed  by a random
                         uuid.
  --transaction-duration-ms TRANSACTION-DURATION
                         The maximum duration of  each  transaction. The commitTransaction will
                         be called after this time  has  elapsed.  The  value should be greater
                         than 0. If the transactional  id  is specified via --command-property,
                         --command-config or  --transactional-id  but --transaction-duration-ms
                         is not specified, the default value will be 3000.
  --warmup-records WARMUP-RECORDS
                         The number of records to treat  as  warmup. These initial records will
                         not be included  in  steady-state  statistics.  An  additional summary
                         line  will  be   printed   describing   the  steady-state  statistics.
                         (default: 0)
  --reporting-interval INTERVAL-MS
                         Interval in milliseconds at  which  to  print progress info. (default:
                         5000)

  Note that you  must  provide  exactly  one  of  --record-size,  --payload-file  or --payload-
  monotonic.

  --record-size RECORD-SIZE
                         Record size in bytes. Note  that  you  must  provide exactly one of --
                         record-size, --payload-file or --payload-monotonic.
  --payload-file PAYLOAD-FILE
                         File to read the  record  payloads  from.  This  works  only for UTF-8
                         encoded text files.  Payloads  will  be  read  from  this  file  and a
                         payload will be randomly selected when  sending records. Note that you
                         must provide  exactly  one  of  --record-size,  --payload-file  or  --
                         payload-monotonic.
  --payload-monotonic    Payload is a  monotonically  increasing  integer.  Note  that you must
                         provide exactly one  of  --record-size,  --payload-file  or --payload-
                         monotonic. (default: false)
