In 0.8.x, a topic doesn't necessarily get created on every broker. Each topic can have one or more partitions. Each partition can have one or more replicas. In general, the replicas are spread over the brokers in a cluster. The producer obtains the metadata of a topic to determine which broker to send a message to.
