However, in my case I realized that the new re-assigned partitions are not getting in sync at all. The in-rate in the existing partition is far more then the sync rate between earlier and newly reassigned partitions.
This is probably due to a bug. Partition reassignment is stable in 0.8.1.1. I recommend you upgrade and retry.
