Jeff Widman commented on KAFKA-2019: ------------------------------------ As noted in KIP-54 (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=62692483) this is not relevant to the new consumer. Could someone update the issue title to make it clear it only applies to the old consumer? I also suspect this may never get merged as the new consumer is the future, in which case it'd be nice if this were closed as "wontfix" > RoundRobinAssignor clusters by consumer > --------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2019 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2019 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: consumer > Reporter: Joseph Holsten > Assignee: Neha Narkhede > Priority: Minor > Attachments: 0001-sort-consumer-thread-ids-by-hashcode.patch, > KAFKA-2019.patch > > > When rolling out a change today, I noticed that some of my consumers are > "greedy", taking far more partitions than others. > The cause is that the RoundRobinAssignor is using a list of ConsumerThreadIds > sorted by toString, which is {{ "%s-%d".format(consumer, threadId)}}. This > causes each consumer's threads to be adjacent to each other. > One possible fix would be to define ConsumerThreadId.hashCode, and sort by > that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
