Alexey Romanenko commented on BEAM-8121: ---------------------------------------- [~chamikara] Yes, it could be a good idea. Do you mean to have more granularity with split? Could you elaborate a bit? > Messages are not distributed per machines when consuming from Kafka topic > with 1 partition > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: BEAM-8121 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8121 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Bug > Components: io-java-kafka > Affects Versions: 2.14.0 > Reporter: TJ > Assignee: Alexey Romanenko > Priority: Major > Fix For: Not applicable > > Attachments: datalake-dataflow-cleaned.zip > > > Messages are consumed from Kafka using KafkaIO. Each kafka topic contains > only 1 partition. (That means that messages can be consumed only by one > Consumer per 1 consumer group) > When backlog of topic grows and system scales from 1 to X machines, all the > messages seems to be executed on the same machine on which they are read. > Due to that message throughput doesn't increase comparing X machines to 1 > machine. If one machine was reading 2K messages per s, X machines will be > reading the same amount. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
