3.1.2.3 Configuring Kafka Preferences

To set your Kafka preferences:

1. Click the user name in the top right corner of the screen and Select System Settings from the drop-down list.
2. Click Kafka Configuration, and set the following configurations:
   • Partition count per Topic: By default, GGSA creates a Kafka topic with partition count of 3 and a replication factor of 1. Increasing the partition count to higher than 3 will increase throughput when consuming data from topic. For Kafka targets, you can select a column as partitioning key.
   • Replication factor per Topic: Increasing the replication factor increases the number of copies of your data thereby making it highly available.
3. Click Save.
