Hi Edmondo,
While technically you can provide a custom KafkaClientProvider and
overwrite the configs for the consumer, I don't recommend you do so.
Partition and task assignment is much more involved in Kafka Streams than
doing so for plain consumers.
Why do you want to force partition assignment
We have a Kafka Streams app that fails to start correctly because somehow
the consumer doesn't get assigned any partition and the Queryable stores
are not available when the app starts.
Is there a way to force release the assignment that consumers have on
specific partitions?
Edmondo
