Clark Haskins commented on KAFKA-1669:
--------------------------------------

[~junrao] We are seeing that we have to change the configs across many 
applications(not just MirrorMaker). Any consumer that consumes topics with 
large numbers of partitions(64+) have issues with rebalancing. 

I am curious what the reason for not doing this is? Consumers with small 
numbers of partitions rebalance quickly and easily and should never get into 
the state where it needs to rebalance multiple times, thus this config should 
rarely get exercised.
