I'm running a kafka cluster running only one broker with GCP n1-standard-2 instance. I configured the number of partitions to 1000, but it is suffering from running a broker on startup. It seems that it needs much more time for topic creation. So, what I did is just set the smaller number of partitions which is now 32. Everything works okay for now. Is this normal behavior or performance? Or, are there any guidelines on setting the number of partitions?
Best, --
