Hi guys, apologies in advance for the newb question: 

I am running a 3 broker setup, and I have a topic configured with 100 
partitions in the broker config. But I've noticed that what seems to happen is 
that each broker gets 100 partitions and it looks kind of like this in the 
consumer logs: 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, ... 1-99, 2-0, 2-1... etc. So the topic actually 
has 300 partitions, 100 per broker? Why? How does this work with the random 
partitioning scheme? I don't really understand the design behind this and my 
reading of the documentation hasn't seemed to turn up anything (though it's 
entirely possible I missed it). 

Thanks in advance!
