You don't even have to do that because the default partitioner will spread the data you publish to the topic over the available partitions for you. Just try it out to see. Publish multiple messages to the topic without using keys, and without specifying a partition, and observe that they are automatically distributed out over the available partitions.

But as per your suggestion, Let me create close to 40-50 partitions for a single topic and when i am producing I do something like this RdKafka::ErrorCode resp = m_kafkaProducer->produce(m_kafkaTopic, partition%(50), RdKafka::Producer::RK_MSG_COPY, ptr, size, &partitionKey, NULL); Abhi On Sun, Oct 9, 2016 at 10:13 AM, Hans Jespersen <h...@confluent.io> wrote: > Why do you have 10 topics?
