*Kafka v1.1.0*
Hi, I have been experimenting with the transactional producer in Kafka and have a question related to it. We are moving towards storing partition offsets outside of Kafka. We have a lot of consumers reading off few busy topics. We started seeing a lot of traffic on the __consumer_offsets topic, due to which the brokers became extremely hot. We found out there is no way to change the partition count of that topic, other than to create a new cluster with desired config and migrate data to it - this is not practical for us (not in the short term, at least). Given this, I believe I can't use the transactional producer since it assumes offsets are written to the Kafka topic. Is that correct? What are my options? Thanks Tushar
