Thanks for pointing out that. The KafkaConfig class and the website config documentation link have the right description but the sample server.properties needs to be updated. I'm guessing that doc string was not updated since 0.7. Will patch that. > > The version we used, does not have the super cool AddPartitionTool. How do > we increase number of partitions for topics in our existing cluster? You will need to upgrade all your brokers to a more recent version that has KAFKA-347 before you can use that tool.
