Problem Description
There is a difference between how sarama partitions when using the Crc32 hash and what is done in librdkafka (and ruby-kafka). It looks like this issue was reported some time ago but nothing came of it (#1213). The main issue is that librdkafka/ruby-kafka treat the hashed value from Crc32 as an unsigned value, whereas sarama casts it to a signed value. However, when using other hashing algorithms, the signed cast is necessary.
