KAFKA-4677: Avoid unnecessary task movement across threads during rebalance Makes task assignment more sticky by preferring to assign tasks to clients that had previously had the task as active task. If there are no clients with the task previously active, then search for a standby. Finally falling back to the least loaded client.
