Hi, We're using Samza with Kafka and we would like to use multiple partitions in our topics.
We've noticed that the number of partitions is defined in server.properties. According to the Kafka documentation <http://kafka.apache.org/07/configuration.html>, there are 2 options to defined the number of partitions: - num.partitions - Specifies the default number of partitions per topic. - topic.partition.count.map - Override parameter to control the number of partitions for selected topics. E.g., topic1:10,topic2:20 We thought about using the first option (num.partitions) in order to avoid the overhead of adding every new topic to a map. Our concern is how it affects the metrics and checkpoint topics. Can anyone share what is the best practice for using multiple partitions in Kafka? Thanks, Dotan
