[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-10431) ProducerPerformance with payloadFile arg: add support for sequential or random outputs

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10431?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17185531#comment-17185531 ]

--------------------------------

Seems adding a new option to ProducerPerformance requires a KIP. I am thinking of replacing the randomly-choosing with a sequential consuming. Is it a better alternative?

> When using ProducerPerformance  with the --payloadFile argument with a file with multiple payloads (i.e the default is one payload per line) , the ProducerPerformance randomly chooses payloads from the file. 
> This could result in the same payload being sent, which may not be the desired result in some cases. 
> It would be useful to all have another argument that allows for sequence payload submission if required. If left blank this arg would default to false (i.e default random selection).
