Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1071:
--------------------------------
Thanks for the patch. Would it be better to just get a random int in
getPartition()? In the current approach, if the multiple producer instances
somehow get into the lock-step mode, they will never get out of that mode, if
partitions are always available.
> The random partition selected in DefaultEventHandler is not random across
> producer instances

> In DefaultEventHandler, partitionCounter is initialized to 0. If multiple
> producers start at about the same time, they likely will always select the
> same partition.
