Fix Version/s: (was: 1.1.0)
2.6.0
Resolution: Fixed
This has been resolved as part of KIP-441. The new assignor should distribute
tasks of each type evenly

> Key: KAFKA-4969
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4969
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.6.0
>
>
> Currently, {{StreamPartitionsAssigner}} does not distinguish different
> "types" of tasks. For example, task can be stateless of have one or multiple
> stores.
> This can lead to an suboptimal task placement: assume there are 2 stateless
> and 2 stateful tasks and the app is running with 2 instances. To share the
> "store load" it would be good to place one stateless and one stateful task
> per instance. Right now, there is no guarantee about this, and it can happen,
> that one instance processed both stateless tasks while the other processes
> both stateful tasks.
> We should improve {{StreamPartitionAssignor}} and introduce "task types"
> including a cost model for task placement. We should consider the following
> parameters:
> - number of stores
> - number of sources/sinks
> - number of processors
> - regular task vs standby task
> - in the case of standby tasks, which tasks have progressed the most with
> respect to restoration
> This improvement should be backed by a design document in the project wiki
> (no KIP required though) as it's a fairly complex change.
>
> There have been some additional discussions around task assignment on a
> related PR https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5390
