I wasreviewingtheconsumer partition rebalancingalgorithm and had a
fewrelatedquestions
* Assuming 1) theconsumerdoesn'tcontrolthe partition allocation within
a topic and 2) theconstraintthat a single consumer C(i) within a consumer group
C(g) must be the only reader of that partition:
* Are there ways to scale partition consumption if C(i) cannot keep up?
* A way to designate particular consumers should consume particular
partitions based on consumer capability (similar to container allocation in
YARN)?
* A way to designate sticky consumer / partition allocation so that a
new consumer C(j) or new broker B(k) or new topic T(l) does not cause C(i) to
lose particular partitions during rebalancing?
Thanks
