-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Kafka Stream parallelizes via Kafka partitions -- for each partitions a task is created. If you subscribe to multiple topics, the topics with the most partitions determine the number of task, and each task get partitions from all topics assigned.
Furthermore, you can configure the number to thread (num.stream.threads , see http://docs.confluent.io/current/streams/developer-guide.html#optional-c onfiguration-parameters) - -- the max useful configuration is the number of created tasks. Keep in mind, if you start multiple instanced of you Streams app, partitions are managed in a consumer group fashion, ie, are distributed over the running instances.
