Joel Koshy resolved KAFKA-564.
------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
KAFKA-687 is a little more general than this.
> Wildcard-based topic consumption should assign partitions to threads uniformly
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-564
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-564
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1
> Reporter: Joel Koshy
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
>
> Right now, if when a client uses createMessageStreamsByFilter and specifies
> 'n' streams (threads), 'n' should be <= the max partition count of any topic.
> If it is greater than that, the excess threads will be idle. However, it
> would be better to allow a greater number of threads and spread all the
> available partitions across the threads.
> This should not be too difficult, but may require significant refactoring.
> Although it is relevant to current trunk/0.7, we will target this for
> post-0.8.
