-----------------------------------
Summary: 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?
