title: Can kafka partitions be spread across multiple kafka cluster nodes?
body: <p>My application has a list of kafka cluster nodes specified in the spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers property and listens to topics on all these nodes.</p>
  
  <p>If I were to create a topic on one of these nodes, with lets say 5 partitions, will these partitions be spread across these multiple nodes or will they be created on a single node? Also, how can I find out which node a topic partition actually exists on?</p>
