Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1669: -------------------------------- It's possible. However, since we are developing the new consumer, it may not be worth patching the old one too much. The rebalancing in the new consumer won't cause conflict since it's done by a single coordinator and it will be fast since it doesn't write to ZK for every partition. > Default rebalance retries and backoff should be higher > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1669 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1669 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: consumer > Reporter: Clark Haskins > Assignee: Mayuresh Gharat > Labels: newbie > Attachments: KAFKA-1669.patch > > > The default rebalance logic does not work for consumers with large numbers of > partitions and/or topics. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
