Zeebe Static Partitions Configuration

partition.md

Configuration Parameters

Required parameters on every broker in a Zeebe cluster (single topic). Only nodeId has to be unique per broker, other values have to be the same.

nodes = 5       (broker processes)
partitions = 6  (unrestricted)
replication = 3 (constraint <= nodes)
nodeId = x      (constraint unique between 0 and nodes (exclusive))

Partition Layout

With the given config values we can determine which node is responsible for which partition. Also if the partition does not exist locally the L (Leader) node will boostrap it.

1. nodes 5, partitions 6, replication 3

P|N 0 1 2 3 4 
0   L F F     
1     L F F
2       L F F
3   F     L F 
4   F F     L 
5   L F F

2. nodes 3, partitions 6, replication 3

P|N 0 1 2
0   L F F
1   F L F
2   F F L
3   L F F
4   F L F
5   F F L

3. nodes 4, partitions 2, replication 3

P|N  0 1 2 3
0    L F F
1      L F F
