Hey everyone! I'd like to propose an improvement to Kafka Connect's scheduling algorithm, with the goal of improving the operability of connect clusters through resource isolation.
Find the KIP here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-987%3A+Connect+Static+Assignments This feature is primarily intended to be consumed by cluster management systems, so I've opened a sister proposal in the Strimzi project that uses this feature to provide user-facing resource isolation. The base feature is generic, so it is usable manually and with cluster management systems other than Strimzi. Find the proposal here: https://github.com/strimzi/proposals/pull/96 Thanks! Greg Harris
