Description

This option is specified in PerfConfig and is used by the producer, consumer and simple consumer perf commands. The docstring on the argument does not list it as required but the producer performance test requires it--others don't.

We should standardize this so that either all the commands require the option and it is marked as required in the docstring or none of them list it as required.
