Vahid Hashemian commented on KAFKA-4201:
----------------------------------------
[~hachikuji] It seems to me that the default assignment strategy of MM is
inherited from the default strategy of both old and new consumers. So, with
this change we are adding a config option to MM to overwrite the default
strategy of the consumers or any strategy set in consumer configuration. If
that is correct, then the fix for
[KAFKA-3818|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3818] is merely setting
a (new) default for this new config.

> The default assignment strategy in mirror maker will be changed from range to
> round robin in an upcoming release ([see
> KAFKA-3818|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3818]). In order to
> make it easier for users to change the assignment strategy, add an
> {{--assignment-strategy}} option to Mirror Maker command line tool.
