Jay Kreps resolved KAFKA-1072. ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed I think this is solved with the partition.assignment.strategy option in 0.8.2 > Allow mulitple topics selected with a TopicFilter to be balanced among > consumers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1072 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1072 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Jason Rosenberg > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
