Description

Spring Cloud Stream adds its own header for binder supported partition. https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-stream/blob/main/core/spring-cloud-stream/src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/stream/binder/BinderHeaders.java#L61

Reactive Kafka binder currently does not look at this header. Spring for Apache Kafka added support for custom partition headers in the MessagingMessageConverter which should be used from the binder.

Research direction

Start with Spring Cloud Stream's BinderHeaders.java reference and Spring Kafka's MessagingMessageConverter support for custom partition headers. Then trace how the reactive Kafka binder configures that converter and verify its existing tests; done means the binder honors the Spring Cloud Stream partition header.
