Subject: KafkaProducer partitionsFor v/s KafkaAdminClient describeTop
Thanks for the response Ziming. In our case, we have a requirement that
some users may have kafka setup where they can only produce and consume.
But not be able to invoke the admin client.
Hence we are going for the use of partitionsFor API in kafka producer and
consumer.

Hi Anand,
AdminClient is more recommended to get
cluster/broker/topic/partition/replication metadata and these apis are under
evolving , KafkaProducer is mostly used to produce record and less used to
query metadata information.

producing/consuming. Some users may set the number of partitions for a
given topic but some users may just set the number of partitions in
server.properties. It should work for both cases.
Which method is better for a production g
