In our architecture, we are assuming to run three jvm processes on one machine (approx.) and each jvm machine can host upto 15 kafka-stream apps.
And if I am not wrong each kafka-stream app spawns one java thread. So, this seems like an awkward architecture to have with around 45 kafka-stream apps running on a single machine. So, I have question in three parts 1) Is my understanding correct that each kafka-stream app spawns one java thread ? Also, each kafka-stream starts a new tcp connection with kafka-broker ? 2) Is there a way to share one tcp connection for multiple kafka-streams ? 3) Is is difficult(not recommended) to run 45 streams on single machine ? The answer to this is definitely NO unless there is a real use case in production.
