I don't think that is possible since Kafka uses the file system cache for this.

What I mean by caching is that the messages are being stored in memory and consumers are also reading from the memory (instead of the disk). In this scenario, I would want messages related to topic A to be cached in memory. And messages related to topic B don't have to be cached in memory. I want topic A to use the space in memory that would have been given to topic B Thanks, Archie On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 12:04 PM, Archie <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > So I have a scenario in kafka where there are 2 topics : A and B. > Topic A's consumers are online (and need to consume data fast) and > topic B's consumers are offline.
