Guozhang Wang created KAFKA-8495: ------------------------------------ Summary: Make Round-robin / RangeAssignor to be "sticky" (part 5) Key: KAFKA-8495 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8495 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Guozhang Wang
For this new algorithm to be effective in reducing rebalance costs, it is really expecting the plug-in assignor to be "sticky" in some way, such that the diff of the newly-assigned-partitions and the existing-assigned-partitions can be small, and hence only a few subset of the total number of partitions need to be revoked / migrated at each rebalance in practice – otherwise, we are just paying more rebalance for little benefits. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
