Description
This PR implements a new
Partitioner
which assigns a consistent Kafka partition for all Zeebe records which share the same Zeebe partition, thereby preserving the ordering in which they were written in Zeebe (for a given Kafka topic).The current approach is suboptimal - it simply maps the
zeebePartitionId
using a simple modulo over the count of Kafka partitions for a given topic. This means if there are more Kafka partitions than Zeebe partitions, some of these partitions will be unused - however it solves an important issue, so it's a good interim solution until a better one is found.Related issues
