Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand partition distribution
Partitions are distributed across brokers, but increasing partitions without adding brokers means more partitions per broker.Step 2: Impact on load
Some brokers may get more partitions than others, causing uneven load and potential bottlenecks.Final Answer:
Partitions will be unevenly distributed, increasing load on some brokers -> Option BQuick Check:
More partitions without brokers cause uneven load [OK]
Quick Trick: More partitions without brokers increase uneven load [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming Kafka adds brokers automatically
- Believing partitions cannot be increased
- Thinking load remains equal without broker changes
