Hi Aljoscha and Robert,
You guys are right.
I resubmit the application with # session window tasks equal to # Kafka sink
tasks.
I never thought that multiple different Kafka tasks can write to the same
partition.
Initially, I do not set the default parallelism and I explicitly set #
partitions of each stage.
This decision naturally led me to set # Kafka sink stage to # of Kafka
partitions.
Sorry for the confusion :-)
Best,
Dongwon
