You can specify the key and the Kafka Producer will hash partition based on the key. There should be a separate JIRA to directly specify the partition.

This isn't resolved, I'm happy to take it if it can be re-opened, if not, we can raise a new JIRA

> Add the ability to partition a Kafka channel topic by key. Users can currently partition topics by key using a file/memory channel with a Kafka sink. Although this approach adds unnecessary latency and the Kafka sink drops Flume event headers, which can be undesirable.
