Tao and Gaurav,
After looking through the source code in Kafka v8.2.0, I don't see any partition() function on the MessageAndMetadata object. Here's the class's source: package kafka.message import kafka.serializer.Decoder import kafka.utils.Utils case class MessageAndMetadata[K, V](topic: String, partition: Int, private val rawMessage: Message, offset: Long, keyDecoder: Decoder[K], valueDecoder: Decoder[V]) { /** * Return the decoded message key and payload */ def key(): K = if(rawMessage.key == null) null.asInstanceOf[K] else keyDecoder.fromBytes(Utils.readBytes(rawMessage.key)) def message(): V = if(rawMessage.isNull) null.asInstanceOf[V] else valueDecoder.fromBytes(Utils.readBytes(rawMessage.payload)) -Alex M.
