How can I get number of partitions for any kafka topic from the code. I have researched many links but none seem to work.

Answer 1

So the following approach works for kafka 0.10 and it does not use any producer or consumer APIs. It uses some classes from the scala API in kafka such as ZkConnection and ZkUtils.

    ZkConnection zkConnection = new ZkConnection(zkConnect);
    ZkUtils zkUtils = new ZkUtils(zkClient,zkConnection,false);
    System.out.println(JavaConversions.mapAsJavaMap(zkUtils.getPartitionAssignmentForTopics(
         JavaConversions.asScalaBuffer(topicList))).get("bidlogs_kafka10").size());
