There is this method in the confluent kafka api. I am curious if I can use this or another part of this api to modify/alter the replication factor and/or partition size?
It is possible to use this method to adjust a a topic with an active listener such as segment/retention times. I am starting to think replication factor and partitioning might be more complicated. Here is the documentation I've been combing through, but not seeing anything definitive as of yet.
I understand for partitions, we can modify by increasing the number (not decreasing).
