> Hi,
> We have recently studied the problem of load balancing in Storm [1].
> In particular, we focused on key distribution of the stream for skewed data.
> We developed a new stream partitioning scheme (which we call Partial Key
> Grouping). It achieves better load balancing than key grouping while being
> more scalable than shuffle grouping in terms of memory.
> In the paper we show a number of mining algorithms that are easy to implement
> with partial key grouping, and whose performance can benefit from it. We
> think that it might also be useful for a larger class of algorithms.
> Partial key grouping is very easy to implement: it requires just a few lines
> of code in Java when implemented as a custom grouping in Storm [2].
> For all these reasons, we believe it will be a nice addition to the standard
> Partitioners available in Flink. If the community thinks it's a good idea, we
> will be happy to offer support in the porting.
