Hi Jun, Is it possible to specify a different partition number for each topic in the server.properties for 0.8? There is no documentation about that in the file.

We are working on a tool to allow that. For now, you will have to either use a new topic with more partitions or if you don't care about messages being consumed in order, you can feed the consumed messages to a separate thread pool for processing.
