[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-8703) Move PartitionAssignor to public API

Sophie Blee-Goldman created KAFKA-8703:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Move PartitionAssignor to public API
                 Key: KAFKA-8703
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8703
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: clients
            Reporter: Sophie Blee-Goldman
            Assignee: Sophie Blee-Goldman


Currently the PartitionAssignor, which is meant to be a pluggable interface, sits in the internal package. It should be part of the public API, so we are deprecating the old consumer.internal.PartitionAssignor in favor of a new consumer.PartitionAssignor.

 

We also want to take the opportunity to refactor the interface a bit, so as to achieve
 # Better separation of user/assignor and consumer provided metadata
 # Easier to evolve API

Due to the way assignors are instantiated, moving to a new PartitionAssignor interface will be fully compatible for most users except those who have implemented the internal.PartitionAssignor
