-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add Kafka partitioner that uses the key to partition by
                 Key: FLINK-9610
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9610
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Kafka Connector
            Reporter: Niels Basjes
            Assignee: Niels Basjes


The kafka connector package only contains the 

FlinkFixedPartitioner implementation of the FlinkKafkaPartitioner.

The most common usecase I have seen it the need to spread the records across the kafka partitions while keeping all messages with the same key together.

I'll put up a pull request with a very simple implementation that should make this a lot easier for others to use and extend.
