Hello, I can see the this has been set as "KIP required".
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3333 I have a use case where I simply want to use the key as some metadata information (but not really for any messages), but ideally would like to round-robin partition assignment. All I understand is, unless a hash collision happens, a key will have a specific partition Could a PMC member please confirm if a KIP has been made available for voting etc., or is this still pending? Also, is it meanwhile safe to extends DefaultPartitioner and use round-robin condition for both Null/non-null keys as override? Regards,
