Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-6583: ---------------------------------------- Thanks for putting the comment. It's better to "Link" Jiras to each other directly. You can find "Link" with "More" button. > Metadata should include number of state stores for task > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-6583 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6583 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: streams > Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0, 0.11.0.0 > Reporter: Richard Yu > Priority: Critical > Labels: needs-kip > > Currently, in the need for clients to be more evenly balanced, stateful tasks > should be distributed in such a manner that it will be spread equally. > However, for such an awareness to be implemented during task assignment, it > would require the need for the present rebalance protocol metadata to also > contain the number of state stores in a particular task. This way, it will > allow us to "weight" tasks during assignment. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
