Broker recives roughly 5-8mil messages (travel patterns) a days.
Everything is fine except that couple of partitions ( not more than 2-3 ) are stucked with high lag.

With continuous flow of data, over days, this some times goes beyond 1-2mill as well. While other partitions sit comfortably at 0 lag



I have tried bringing down consumer count to less than 12 assuming that round robin will force reading up for other partitions too but it doesn't help.



Any suggestion on what option do I have to reduce this lag? Consumers are through a data streaming processor built using java.

If the messages have non-null message keys, then probably the partitions which have high lag are getting more data than the rest. In that case, it might be beneficial to force a round robin partitioning scheme, irrespective of the keys, if it doesn't have any implication on the business logic.
