> The
> [DefaultPartitioner|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/internals/DefaultPartitioner.java]
> typically distributes using the hash of the keybytes, and falls back to
> round robin if there is no key. But there is currently no way to do Round
> Robin partitioning if you have keys on your messages without writing your own
> partitioning implementation.
> I think it'd be helpful to have an implementation of straight Round Robin
> partitioning included with the library.
