This decision happens on the producer. >> If its not automatically handled by the broker, how do people usually go about deciding which partition to write to.. simple hashing? The following describes the default behavior - If you provide a key, it selects using hash(key)%num_partitions. If you don't provide a key, it simply defaults to random partition on a random broker. If you also plug in your custom partitioner to the producer.
