Hi John,

Zipping up some logs from our running Kafka cluster is going to be a bit
difficult.
What I can do is try to reproduce this off-line and capture the logs from
there.

We also had a look in the PartitionAssignor source code (for 1.1.1) and
indeed this behaviour is a bit weird
as from the source code I'd expect equally divided partitions.

Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to reproduce this issue with some simple
unit-test like code.
I'll post the results when I have more info.

Greets,
Bart
