Tristan Stevens commented on FLUME-2868:
----------------------------------------
FLUME-2823 allows you to specify the key, but not the partition. We should do
this in the channel and in the sink.
> Kafka Channel partition topic by key

> Key: FLUME-2868
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2868
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Channel
> Affects Versions: v1.6.0
> Reporter: James Kinley
> Fix For: v1.7.0
>
>
> Add the ability to partition a Kafka channel topic by key. Users can
> currently partition topics by key using a file/memory channel with a Kafka
> sink. Although this approach adds unnecessary latency and the Kafka sink
> drops Flume event headers, which can be undesirable.
