Github user anisnasir commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1069#issuecomment-136496310 @tillrohrmann Yes, we can design a system that adapts to the load imbalance and increases the number of partitions per key in real time. However, this comes with few other questions that are: 1. When to increases the choices? 2. How much to increase the choices? 3. Should we increase the choices for all the keys? A simple solution for the datasets that cannot be handled using our solution is to use ShufflePartitioner.
