> KAFKA-959 introduced an optimisation in {{DefaultEventHandler}} that was supposed to have the effect of sending all messages from the same batch to a single partition if no key is specified.
> The problem is that the {{sendPartitionPerTopicCache}} cache, which holds the current selected partition for each topic, isn't actually invalided at the start or end of each batch.
> The observed result is that, after the first request chooses a random partition, all subsequent messages from that producer land in the same partition. If you have a large number of producers, then it should be fine, but if your producer count is comparable to the partition count, then it will get unbalanced.
