Same query. Where is number of threads?

I suppose that multiple produer threads are implemented by running the producer script several times.

On Kafka 0.10.1 "--num-records 15000000" syntax not found. Can anyone please suggest what should I use instead of it.

Where can I found documentation for what all the options mean?

You can run it on multiple servers

Where can I found documentation for what all the options mean?

--topic - The topic on which performance test will write to
--num-records - The total number of records to send for the test
--throughput - The maximum throughput for the test
--producer-props - The producer properties
bootstrap.servers - The detail of Kafka brokers
--record-size - The size of each record in bytes
batch.size - The batch size in bytes

I believe the zookeeper switch has deprecated for 'kafka-consumer-perf-test.bat' . (I am running remotely from kafka path CLI)
Running the below from CLI I am getting the error.

I have tried without the timeout it failed . It seems the process did not fetch the messages and stopped before doing so. Please help.
