aarti gupta commented on KAFKA-1658:
------------------------------------

Is there a way (programatic or otherwise) to set the # of partitions for a given topic.
For example topic A has 3 partitions, whereas topic B has 5 partitions

>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
>         Environment: Ubuntu
>            Reporter: aarti gupta

> Tried to change the # of partitions per topic, (for a non existent topic), by adding the following settings to the producer
>       properties.put("num.partitions","3");
>         properties.put("topic.partition.count.map", "3");
>         ProducerConfig producerConfig = new ProducerConfig(properties);
>         producer = new Producer<String, String>(producerConfig);
> Also set         properties.put("auto.create.topics.enable", "false"); (tried without that first)
> The default # of partitions as specified in the server.properties (i.e. 1) still come into effect.
> I also wanted to change the replication factor, (for a non existent topic), 
>         properties.put("default.replication.factor", "3");  on the producer config did not work
> Is this expected behavior? The documentation suggests that we use the command line tool, but I want to control this dynamically. Any suggestions?
