@GaryWilber Any way we could get some eyes on cooperative rebalancing? :) This would be huge for us.
@iradul Do you have access to trigger the PR test checks/workflow for this? I don't see a way to trigger it myself.
@SeanReece @GaryWilber @iradul Guys, how can we escalate the testing and merging process of this PR? It would be very useful for the whole community
The purpose of these changes is to add a functional version of node-rdkafka that supports incremental cooperative rebalancing. Given that librdkafka has supported this type of rebalancing for nearly four years, this update aims to bring node-rdkafka in line with librdkafka capabilities and enhancing its functionality.
We use the code from this fork in our production environment for services that handle 5000 requests/messages per second. Using the cooperative-sticky partitioning strategy has shown good results by avoiding "stop-the-world" situations. Specifically, we have observed increased throughput and reduced spikes during scale-up and scale-down operations of pods in Kubernetes.
