Kafka number of topics vs number of partitions
<p>Please bear with me. I'm pretty new to kafka. 
I'm working on the project where producers can come up at runtime(not a fixed number) and publish messages. Currently they publish to unique topic (topic.uuid) created at runtime in kafka broker, I have one consumer on the other end which subscribes to topic.* pattern and subscribes to all the topics and does re-balancing as new topics come in.Is it the correct approach?</p>

<p>Now, I'm confused should we have one topic with multiple partitions or multiple topics with one partition each.Technically, it is same.</p>

<p>But, what is the complexity involved in getting new partition (at runtime) and new consumer for every partition (at runtime) to achieve higher throughput as it is mentioned in various blogs that number of partition should have same number of consumer's in a group.</p>
