             Summary: Spark Streaming LocationStrategy should provide a random option that mapping kafka partitions randomly to spark executors
                 Key: SPARK-35212
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-35212
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: DStreams
    Affects Versions: 3.1.1
            Reporter: Wang Yuan


There are three LocationStrategy: PreferBrokers, PreferConsistent, PreferFixed. I got a scenario that I need a random one. There are plenty of topic partitions that are varies from each other with different records inside. And I have a lot of executors. PreferBrokers does not help here. PreferConsistent will make things worse that some executor will always get heavy tasks. PreferFixed does not help too, because it is fixed, neither to say I have to create a mapping manually.

A random LocationStrategy should dispatch a topic partition to different executors in different window. This would balance the load among spark executors.
