Hi @Mayank Event with balanced segment strategy some tables segment being assigned to fewer servers only. I was thinking all servers would participate in segment assignment as round robin.

Are you real-time event partitions evenly spread

yeah table is realtime but 6 stream partition & server count is 13, but tables with balanced segment strategy is going to 6 servers only with heavy tables and around 10k of segment

For real-time, a partition is sticky to a server. So if partitions are not evenly distributed data won’t be

yes this answers to my question

You can use instance assignment strategies for

COMPLETED

segments to spread non consuming segments across more servers (assuming you don't use upserts) - https://docs.pinot.apache.org/operators/operating-pinot/instance-assignment

Okay going through this.
