environment and incur artificial load to observe how well load managers
handle the load. The load simulation controller, the load simulation client, and the broker monitor were created as an
effort to make create this load and observe the effects on the managers more easily.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="simulation-client">Simulation Client<a href="#simulation-client" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Simulation Client" title="Direct link to Simulation Client"></a></h2><p>A simulation client is a machine that creates and subscribes to topics with configurable message rates and sizes.
Because it is sometimes necessary to simulate a large load to use multiple client machines, the user does not interact
with the simulation client directly but instead delegates their requests to the simulation controller, which will then
send signals to clients to start incurring load. The client implementation is in the class
<code>org.apache.pulsar.testclient.LoadSimulationClient</code>.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="usage">Usage<a href="#usage" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Usage" title="Direct link to Usage"></a></h3><p>To Start a simulation client, use the <code>pulsar-perf</code> script with the command <code>simulation-client</code> as follows:</p><div class="language-shell codeBlockContainer_Ckt0 theme-code-block" style="--prism-color:#F8F8F2;--prism-background-color:#282A36"><div class="codeBlockContent_biex"><pre tabindex="0" class="prism-code language-shell codeBlock_bY9V thin-scrollbar"><code class="codeBlockLines_e6Vv"><span class="token-line" style="color:#F8F8F2"><span class="token plain">pulsar-perf simulation-client --port </span><span class="token operator">&lt;</span><span class="token plain">listen port</span><span class="token operator">&gt;</span><span class="token plain"> --service-url </span><span class="token operator">&lt;</span><span class="token plain">pulsar </span><span class="token function" style="color:rgb(80, 250, 123)">service</span><span class="token plain"> url</span><span class="token operator">&gt;</span><br></span></code></pre><div class="buttonGroup__atx"><button type="button" aria-label="Copy code to clipboard" title="Copy" class="clean-btn"><span class="copyButtonIcons_eSgA" aria-hidden="true"><svg class="copyButtonIcon_y97N" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M19,21H8V7H19M19,5H8A2,2 0 0,0 6,7V21A2,2 0 0,0 8,23H19A2,2 0 0,0 21,21V7A2,2 0 0,0 19,5M16,1H4A2,2 0 0,0 2,3V17H4V3H16V1Z"></path></svg><svg class="copyButtonSuccessIcon_LjdS" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M21,7L9,19L3.5,13.5L4.91,12.09L9,16.17L19.59,5.59L21,7Z"></path></svg></span></button></div></div></div><p>The client will then be ready to receive controller commands.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="simulation-controller">Simulation Controller<a href="#simulation-controller" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Simulation Controller" title="Direct link to Simulation Controller"></a></h2><p>The simulation controller sends signals to the simulation clients, requesting them to create new topics, stop old

You will then be presented with a simple prompt,
where you can issue commands to simulation clients. Arguments often refer to tenant names, namespace names, and topic
names. In all cases, the BASE name of the tenants, namespaces, and topics are used. For example, for the topic
<code>persistent://my_tenant/my_cluster/my_namespace/my_topic</code>, the tenant name is <code>my_tenant</code>, the namespace name is
<code>my_namespace</code>, and the topic name is <code>my_topic</code>. The controller can perform the following actions:</p><ul><li>Create a topic with a producer and a consumer<ul><li><code>trade &lt;tenant&gt; &lt;namespace&gt; &lt;topic&gt; [--rate &lt;message rate per second&gt;]
[--rand-rate &lt;lower bound&gt;,&lt;upper bound&gt;]
[--size &lt;message size in bytes&gt;]</code></li></ul></li><li>Create a group of topics with a producer and a consumer<ul><li><code>trade_group &lt;tenant&gt; &lt;group&gt; &lt;num_namespaces&gt; [--rate &lt;message rate per second&gt;]

Groups are created
when calling the <code>trade_group</code> command, and all topics from these groups may be subsequently modified or stopped
with the <code>change_group</code> and <code>stop_group</code> commands respectively. All ZooKeeper arguments are of the form
<code>zookeeper_host:port</code>.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="difference-between-copy-simulate-and-stream">Difference Between Copy, Simulate, and Stream<a href="#difference-between-copy-simulate-and-stream" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Difference Between Copy, Simulate, and Stream" title="Direct link to Difference Between Copy, Simulate, and Stream"></a></h3><p>The commands <code>copy</code>, <code>simulate</code>, and <code>stream</code> are very similar but have significant differences. <code>copy</code> is used when
you want to simulate the load of a static, external ZooKeeper on the ZooKeeper you are simulating on. Thus,
<code>source zookeeper</code> should be the ZooKeeper you want to copy and <code>target zookeeper</code> should be the ZooKeeper you are
simulating on, and then it will get the full benefit of the historical data of the source in both load manager
implementations. <code>simulate</code> on the other hand takes in only one ZooKeeper, the one you are simulating on. It assumes
that you are simulating on a ZooKeeper that has historical data for <code>SimpleLoadManagerImpl</code> and creates equivalent
historical data for <code>ModularLoadManagerImpl</code>. Then, the load according to the historical data is simulated by the
clients. Finally, <code>stream</code> takes in an active ZooKeeper different than the ZooKeeper being simulated on and streams
load data from it and simulates the real-time load. In all cases, the optional <code>rate-multiplier</code> argument allows the
user to simulate some proportion of the load. For instance, using <code>--rate-multiplier 0.05</code> will cause messages to
be sent at only <code>5%</code> of the rate of the load that is being simulated.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="broker-monitor">Broker Monitor<a href="#broker-monitor" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Broker Monitor" title="Direct link to Broker Monitor"></a></h2><p>To observe the behavior of the load manager in these simulations, one may utilize the broker monitor, which is
implemented in <code>org.apache.pulsar.testclient.BrokerMonitor</code>. The broker monitor will print tabular load data to the
console as it is updated using watchers.</p><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="usage-2">Usage<a href="#usage-2" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Usage" title="Direct link
