> Hi,
> I just wanted to point out that in the documentation at https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/, there are over 500 references to the word "broker". However, the idea of what a broker is not clear. 
> The first mention of a Kafka broker comes from the sentence:
> ??Alternatively, instead of manually creating topics you can also configure your brokers to auto-create topics when a non-existent topic is published to.??
> Perhaps there could be a better discussion of what a broker is, similar to the discussions on what a consumer/producer/partition etc. is?
