| 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. A Pulsar topic is a unit of storage that organizes messages into a stream. Each message in a topic has an offset, which uniquely identifies the message within the topic. |

| ## Prerequisites |
| [Publish to partitioned topics](admin-api-topics.md#publish-to-partitioned-topics) |

| ## Create a topic |

| ``` |
| |
| 2. List all the partitioned topics in the namespace `apache/pulsar`. |
