title: Creating Kafka Topic for Multiple Zookeepers Instances
body: <p>Reading through the Kafka <a href="http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#quickstart" rel="nofollow">Quick Start</a>, creating a topic tied to a single Zookeeper instance (in this case localhost) is really simple using the command </p>
  
  <pre><code>bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But what if I have 3 Zookeeper servers running? Do I only need to include one of the Zookeeper urls, and will the other Zookeeper instances be notified of this new topic to help fault tolerance? Or do I need to provide all of them?</p>
