Vahid Hashemian commented on KAFKA-3818:
----------------------------------------

[~hachikuji] Since _round robin_ provides a more balanced output I'm curious 
why _range_ is still being used as the default strategy for the consumer.

> Change Mirror Maker default assignment strategy to round robin

> It might make more sense to use round robin assignment by default for MM 
> since it gives a better balance between the instances, in particular when the 
> number of MM instances exceeds the typical number of partitions per topic. 
> There doesn't seem to be any need to keep range assignment since 
> copartitioning is not an issue.
