Apache Pulsar is a distributed messaging system that supports high performance and low latency. Topics are the primary way to structure data in Apache Pulsar. Each message in a topic has an offset, which uniquely identifies the message within the topic.
To create a topic, complete the following steps.
Create test-topic with 4 partitions in the namespace apache/pulsar.
bin/pulsar-admin topics create-partitioned-topic apache/pulsar/test-topic -p 4
List all the partitioned topics in the namespace apache/pulsar.
bin/pulsar-admin topics list-partitioned-topics apache/pulsar
