Timothy,
Kafka is not designed to support millions of topics. Zookeeper will become
a bottleneck, even if you deploy more brokers to get around the # of files
issue. In normal cases, it might work just fine with the right sized
cluster. However, when there are failures, the time to recovery could
Hi Neha,
Not sure if this sounds crazy, but if we'd like to have the events for the
same session id go to the same partition one way could be that each session
key creates its own topic with single partition, therefore there could be
millions of topic with single partition.
I wonder what would
Number of files to manage by os, I suppose.
Why wouldn't you use consistent hashing with deliberately engineered
collisions to generate a limited number of topics / partitions and filter
at the consumer level?

Hi,
I'm currently trying to understand how Kafka (0.8) can scale with our usage

We want to route the same messages belonging to the same id to the same

- I see that Kafka server.properties allows one to specify the number of
partitions it supports. However, when we want to scale I wonder if we add #
of partitions or # of brokers, will the same partitioner start distributing
the messages to different partitions?
And if it does, how can that same
Hi Neha/Chris,
Thanks for the reply, so if I set a fixed number of partitions and just add
brokers to the broker pool, does it rebalance the load to the new brokers
(along with the data)?

Not automatically as of today. You have to run the reassign-partitions tool
and explicitly move selected partitions to the new brokers. If you use this
tool, you can move partitions to the new broker without any downtime.
Thanks,
