> Key: KAFKA-1072
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1072
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Jason Rosenberg
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> Currently, there is no parallelism used when consuming a set of topics
> selected by a white list topic filter, if those topics all have a partition
> count of 1. Currently, all topics that match the filter get assigned to the
> same thread on the same consumer, even though there may be plenty of
> different topics (and therefore many partitions to be consumed from).
> There are often good reasons to use a partition count of only 1 (e.g. to
> preserve message ordering). For arbitrary scalability, over a large number
> of topics, this would be a great benefit to be able to consume topics
> balanced over a set of available consumers.
