Kafka Consumer rebalancing frequently

[sahitya agrawal]

Hi,

I am using new Kafka consumer API ( 0.9.0.0) . I created 100 partitions  of
a topic and started only one consumer to consume. Many of times , In
consumer logs I see lot of rebalancing activity and no object is consumed
due to that.

Is this a known issue? Please let me know if some body can help with regard
to this.

My Consumer config:
        props.put("zookeeper.session.timeout.ms", "10000");
        props.put("rebalance.backoff.ms","10000");
        props.put("zookeeper.sync.time.ms","200");
        props.put("rebalance.max.retries","10");
        props.put("enable.auto.commit", "false");
        props.put("consumer.timeout.ms","20000");
        props.put("auto.offset.reset", "smallest");

Thanks,
Sahitya
