I have 3 partitions: 0, 1, 2. So the messages can be classified as 0, 1, 2. eg: 1 message in partition 0: 0 3 messages in partition 1: 111 2 messages in partition 2: 22 How to make the logstash to consume messages in the order 012x12x1x (x means no messages at that time). The order of consumed messages look like: 012121. There is partition.assignment.strategy in Kafka consumer configs ([http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#consumerconfigs](http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#consumerconfigs)). I am looking for some plugins which implements this config to read data from kafka, reorder them, and write to kafka again. Any idea? ---
