>
> KAFKA-959 introduced an optimisation in {{DefaultEventHandler}} that was
> supposed to have the effect of sending all messages from the same batch to a
> single partition if no key is specified.
> The problem is that the {{sendPartitionPerTopicCache}} cache, which holds the
> current selected partition for each topic, isn't actually invalided at the
> start or end of each batch.
> The observed result is that, after the first request chooses a random
> partition, all subsequent messages from that producer land in the same
> partition. If you have a large number of producers, then it should be fine,
> but if your producer count is comparable to the partition count, then it will
> get unbalanced.
