Hey Mohit, Unfortunately, I don't think there's any such configuration.
By the way, there are some pretty cool things you can do with keys in Kafka (such as semantic partitioning and log compaction). I don't know if they would help in your use case, but it might be worth checking out http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#design for more details. -Jason On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 8:18 AM, Mohit Kathuria <mkathu...@sprinklr.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We are using kafka 0.8.1.1 in our production cluster.
