Hi, Could somebody help me whether my understanding is correct as I am very new to kafka.
1. Topic name- ProdCategory, with 4 partitions. All the messages are XML files . And consumer numbers also 4. Multi-Broker -4. 2. XML files vary in size from 10 KB- 1 MB. 3. Say if there are 100 XML files.(Serialized) Questions: 1. Will Kafka distribute the 100 serialized files randomly say 20 files go to Partition 1, 25 to Partition 2 etc or do I have an option to configure how many files go to which partition . 2. How to configure each consumer to read from a particular partition only. Say consumer 1 to read from partition 4 only likewise. 2. If I have not set the max size what will happen to that 1MB file, I read in the documentation that default size is 10KB. Thanks
