Jay Kreps resolved KAFKA-167.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
This is being done (finally) in the new consumer implementation.
> Move partition assignment to the broker
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-167
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
>
> Currently partitions are assigned to consumers for consumption via a
> co-ordination algorithm by the consumers. This means there is effectively no
> master broker node, which is nice in a way, but makes the consumer logic
> complex to implement. It would be good to move the co-ordination to the
> brokers. This would make implementation of a consumer client much much
> easier, since only minimal zk interaction would be required. There are a
> number of details that would have to be worked out to finalize the protocol.
> Discussion is here:
