-----------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
> Better definition/introduction to the term brokers
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4941
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4941
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Yih Feng Low
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Hi,
> I just wanted to point out that in the documentation at
> https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/, there are over 500 references to the
> word "broker". However, the idea of what a broker is not clear.
> The first mention of a Kafka broker comes from the sentence:
> ??Alternatively, instead of manually creating topics you can also configure
> your brokers to auto-create topics when a non-existent topic is published
> to.??
> Perhaps there could be a better discussion of what a broker is, similar to
> the discussions on what a consumer/producer/partition etc. is?
