Hi, What I want : I have my own partitioning technique that generates keys for DataStream tuples ,those keys range are equal to the number of nodes in the clusters like if I set the parallelism equal to 4 the generated keys will be 0,1,2 and 3 and so on and then every key should be partitioned to the same node to do such more keyed processing using keyed state.
What happened: I have implemented my logic using the keyBy so I can use a keyed state but it suffers from a great skewness some of the nodes had received no records and other ones received more than one. I have tried to use custom partitioning it did the physical partitioning as I want but I can not use the keyed state with it without using keyBy. What I expect (questions): Is there a way to control the skewness or enforce keys to be parallelized over the available nodes? or Is there a way to overwrite the partitioning technique used in keyBy? or Is there a way to use a keyed state with custom partitioning?
