>
> Currently, {{StreamPartitionsAssigner}} does not distinguish different 
> "types" of tasks. For example, task can be stateless of have one or multiple 
> stores.
> This can lead to an suboptimal task placement: assume there are 2 stateless 
> and 2 stateful tasks and the app is running with 2 instances. To share the 
> "store load" it would be good to place one stateless and one stateful task 
> per instance. Right now, there is no guarantee about this, and it can happen, 
> that one instance processed both stateless tasks while the other processes 
> both stateful tasks.
> We should improve {{StreamPartitionAssignor}} and introduce "task types" 
> including a cost model for task placement. We should consider the following 
> parameters:
>  - number of stores
>  - number of sources/sinks
>  - number of processors
>  - regular task vs standby task
> This improvement should be backed by a design document in the project wiki 
> (no KIP required though) as it's a fairly complex change.
