Design and implement a Go-based Kafka redistributor to reduce lag on partitions by reproducing messages to other partitions

Set up a Redis hash to store the current redistributor states of Kafka consumer groups, each of which is a hash field

Add a REST API endpoint available to all microservices for updating the redistributor state in Redis cache

Develop a poll to periodically retrieve the current redistributor state and tune the Kafka redistributor accordingly in all corresponding service instances

Write unit and benchmarking tests for the redistributor and API’s handler/helper functions using Ginkgo and Gomega

Prepare Python-based End-to-end cloud tests and the redistributor in the Kafka consumers in all microservices
