Parallel consumption of one stream

How can I have multiple consumers receiving data from one object stream in parallel? parallel only works on streams of streams.

The answer is above there, use map to convert your stream into a stream of streams and then use mergeWithLimit.

_(['www.example.com/foo', 'www.example.com/bar', 'www.example.com/baz'])
    .map(makeHtttpRequest) // makeHtttpRequest must return a Highland stream
   .mergeWithLimit(noOfWorkers);

This definitely sounds like something we should add. Also cc @theefer - I think this is what we talked about recently.

Essentially, we want a pool of consumers, each reading from the source as soon as one is ready instead of blocking until all are ready. The results are then pushed out on a single output stream (like merge()). Perhaps it could be called balance(workers), where workers is an Array or Stream of writable worker streams? Other name suggestions most welcome!
