Hi Aniket, I need to create a JIRA and upload a patch for review to fix that.
New improvements were made for important use cases that replaced the default which I will move to another partitioner so folks can use it and revert the original restoring expected default out of the box behavior. I should be able todo that today. Here is the detail thread on it http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-dev/201309.mbox/%3ccafbh0q0of6pe3ul3pexf9u--wg0yltm+v3mr+44xgopwc9y...@mail.gmail.com%3e /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop ********************************************/ On Sep 27, 2013, at 2:54 AM, Aniket Bhatnagar <aniket.bhatna...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to find an implementation of Partitioner trait that supports > for random distribution of messages onto partitions; something that existed > in 0.7 by simply passing null as key.
