@liurenjie1024 putting aside for a second the discussion about the need to
implement partition assignment, if we indeed agree that we should support it, I
think that the `KafkaSpout` class is getting a bit too bloated to handle some
of these separate requirements. In a sense this is a new feature on its own. I
would favor using a more OOD approach if possible. Perhaps subclass or compose
the `KafkaSpout` @srdo @revans2 what's your opinion?

If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your
reply appear on GitHub as well. If your project does not have this feature
enabled and wishes so, or if the feature is enabled but not working, please
contact infrastructure at infrastruct...@apache.org or file a JIRA ticket
with INFRA.
