Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-221: Repartition Topic Hints in Streams

Hi,

Just want to know is anyone actively working on this and also KAFKA-4835
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4835>? Seems like the JIRA has
been inactive for couple months. We want this feature and would like to
move it forward if no one else is working on it.

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-221: Repartition Topic Hints in Streams

Posted by "Matthias J. Sax" <ma...@confluent.io>.
It seems Jeyhun (cc'ed) is not working on the KIP any longer. If there
is no response within a week from Jeyhun, feel free to take over the KIP.

One more side comment: we recently accepted KIP-372, that overlaps with
this KIP. Thus, if you resume KIP-221, please consider the changes of
KIP-372.


Thanks a lot!
