Hi Jay, Yes, we are producing from single process/jvm.
>From docs "The producer will attempt to batch records together into fewer requests whenever multiple records are being sent to the same partition." If I understand correctly, batching happens at topic/partition level, not at Node level. right? If yes, then both (single producer for all topics , separate producer for each topic) approaches may give similar performance.
