Wiggins has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am looking for advice from someone who has sailed a possibly mythical sea named 'Apache Kafka' in a Perl boat.

Due to a thinness of published guidance for the Perl interface, I would like to know if a different Producer is needed for each 'different topic'? I have the producer and consumer each on separate threads. But now have to publish to 3 different topics. I know consumers a 1:1 with topics. Are publishers the same?

Update

I have ventured a small distance from shore and returned where I had hoped. I find that a single Producer can handle multiple ( =2 which is greater than 1) topics.

It is always better to have seen your target for yourself, rather than depend upon someone else's description.
