Hi All, I need to know the number of partitions for a topic before producing/consuming. Some users may set the number of partitions for a given topic but some users may just set the number of partitions in server.properties. It should work for both cases.
Which method is better for a production grade software: 1. KafkaProducer partitionsFor 2. KafkaAdminClient describeTopics: you need to extract the topic you are interested in and get the partition info from the metadata. A quick Google search tells me that describeTopics approach is more comprehensive. Also, will the use of KafkaProducer partitionsFor work for clustered environments? Thanks, Anand
