How do I achieve round robin based partitioning for topic?

[Bijay Bisht <bi...@siftsec.com>]

Hi,

I am using kafka_2.10-0.8.2.0. Per documentation I just need to invoke the Producer API send without the key and that would result in a round robin based partitioning, but I only see one particular partition getting all the data.

Are you using the old or new producer? That sounds like the behavior the
old producer had -- it would stick to the same partition for awhile (10
minutes if I remember correctly). The new producer does not have this
behavior, preferring to round-robin the *available* brokers. Note that
since it round robins available producers, you may still see an uneven
split of data if one of your brokers is down or partitioned for some time.
