You can use a topic to perform identity and permission management for messages of a specific category.</li></ul><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="model-relationship">Model relationship<a href="#model-relationship" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to heading" title="Direct link to heading"></a></h2><p>The following figure shows the position of a topic in the domain model of Apache RocketMQ. |

A topic is a logical concept and not the actual unit that stores messages.</p><p>A topic contains one or more queues. Message storage and scalability are implemented based on queues. All constraints and attribute settings for a topic are implemented based on the queues in the topic.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="internal-attributes">Internal attributes<a href="#internal-attributes" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to heading" title="Direct link to heading"></a></h2><p><strong>Topic name</strong></p><ul><li><p>Definition: the name of a topic. A topic name identifies the topic and is globally unique in a cluster.</p></li><li><p>Value: A topic name is specified by the user when a topic is created.</p></li><li><p>Constraint: See <a href="/docs/introduction/03limits">Parameter limits</a>.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Queues</strong></p><ul><li><p>Definition: the actual storage unit that stores messages. A topic contains one or more queues. For more information, see <a href="/docs/domainModel/03messagequeue">Message queues</a>.</p></li><li><p>Value: You can specify the number of queues when you create a topic. Apache RocketMQ allocates the specified number of queues to the topic.</p></li><li><p>Constraint: A topic must contain at least one queue.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Message type</strong></p><ul><li><p>Definition: the message type that is specified for a topic.</p></li><li><p>Value: When you create a topic in Apache RocketMQ, select one of the following message types for the topic:</p><ul><li><p>Normal: <a href="/docs/featureBehavior/01normalmessage">Normal messages</a>. A normal message does not require special semantics and is not correlated with other normal messages.</p></li><li><p>FIFO: <a href="/docs/featureBehavior/03fifomessage">Fifo messages</a>. Apache RocketMQ uses a message group to determine the order of a specified set of messages. The messages are delivered in the order in which they are sent.</p></li><li><p>Delay: <a href="/docs/featureBehavior/02delaymessage">Delayed messages</a>. You can specify a delay to make messages available to consumers only after the delay has elapsed, instead of delivering messages immediately when they are produced.</p></li><li><p>Transaction: <a href="/docs/featureBehavior/04transactionmessage">Transaction messages</a>. Apache RocketMQ supports distributed transaction messages and ensures transaction consistency of database updates and message calls.</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Constraint: Starting from version 5.0, Apache RocketMQ supports enforcing the validation of message types, that is, each topic only allows messages of a single type to be sent. This can better facilitate operation and management of production systems and avoid confusion. However, to ensure backward compatibility with version 4.x, the validation feature is enable by default.</p></li></ul><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="behavior-constraints">Behavior constraints<a href="#behavior-constraints" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to heading" title="Direct link to heading"></a></h2><p><strong>Forced message type verification</strong></p><p>Apache RocketMQ version 5.x allows you to specify a message type for a topic. This way, you can manage and process messages of the specified type in a separate topic. Apache RocketMQ forcibly verifies the type of messages that are sent and the message type of the topic to which the messages are sent. If message type verification fails, message delivery requests are rejected, and a type mismatch error is returned. The following verification rules apply:</p><ul><li><p>Consistent message types. The messages that you want to send must use the same message type as the message type that is specified for the topic to which you want to send the messages.</p></li><li><p>Only one type of messages sent to a topic. The messages that you want to send to a topic must use the same message type. Only one message type can be specified for a topic.</p></li></ul><div class="theme-admonition theme-admonition-info alert alert--info admonition_LlT9"><div class="admonitionHeading_tbUL"><span class="admonitionIcon_kALy"><svg viewBox="0 0 14 16"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7 2.3c3.14 0 5.7 2.56 5.7 5.7s-2.56 5.7-5.7 5.7A5.71 5.71 0 0 1 1.3 8c0-3.14 2.56-5.7 5.7-5.7zM7 1C3.14 1 0 4.14 0 8s3.14 7 7 7 7-3.14 7-7-3.14-7-7-7zm1 3H6v5h2V4zm0 6H6v2h2v-2z"></path></svg></span>info</div><div class="admonitionContent_S0QG"><p>To ensure backward compatibility with version 4.x, the above validation feature is disabled by default.

The following is an example:</p><div class="language-shell codeBlockContainer_Ckt0 theme-code-block" style="--prism-color:#393A34;--prism-background-color:#f6f8fa"><div class="codeBlockContent_biex"><pre tabindex="0" class="prism-code language-shell codeBlock_bY9V thin-scrollbar"><code class="codeBlockLines_e6Vv"><span class="token-line" style="color:#393A34"><span class="token function" style="color:#d73a49">sh</span><span class="token plain"> mqadmin updateTopic -n </span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34"><</span><span class="token plain">nameserver_address</span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34">></span><span class="token plain"> -t </span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34"><</span><span class="token plain">topic_name</span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34">></span><span class="token plain"> -c </span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34"><</span><span class="token plain">cluster_name</span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34">></span><span class="token plain"> -a +message.type</span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34">=</span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34"><</span><span class="token plain">message_type</span><span class="token operator" style="color:#393A34">></span><br></span></code></pre><div class="buttonGroup__atx"><button type="button" aria-label="Copy code to clipboard" title="Copy" class="clean-btn"><span class="copyButtonIcons_eSgA" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="copyButtonIcon_y97N"><path fill="currentColor" d="M19,21H8V7H19M19,5H8A2,2 0 0,0 6,7V21A2,2 0 0,0 8,23H19A2,2 0 0,0 21,21V7A2,2 0 0,0 19,5M16,1H4A2,2 0 0,0 2,3V17H4V3H16V1Z"></path></svg><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="copyButtonSuccessIcon_LjdS"><path fill="currentColor" d="M21,7L9,19L3.5,13.5L4.91,12.09L9,16.17L19.59,5.59L21,7Z"></path></svg></span></button></div></div></div><p>Among these, the message_type parameter can be set as Normal/FIFO/Delay/Transaction based on the message type. If it is not specified, it defaults to the Normal type.</p><h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="usage-notes">Usage notes<a href="#usage-notes" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to heading" title="Direct link to heading"></a></h2><p><strong>Plan topics based on your business requirements</strong></p><p>We recommend that you use a topic to process messages that are produced for the same business module of a business aspect when you plan topics in Apache RocketMQ. Take note of the following factors when you plan topics:</p><ul><li><p>Message types: Use different topics to store messages of different types. For example, you can create two topics to separately store fifo messages and normal messages.</p></li><li><p>Message correlation: Use separate topics to store messages that are not directly correlated. For example, create two topics for Taobao transaction messages and Freshippo logistics messages, which are not correlated. If the messages are directly correlated, you can use the same topic. For example, you can create one topic for order messages that are produced for the men's clothing category and women's clothing category on Taobao. If the business volume or submodules require more fine-grained topics, you can also use different topics for messages that can be classified into one topic.</p></li><li><p>Message volume and timeliness: Use different topics to process messages that have differences in volume or timeliness. For example, do not use the same topic for one business that generates a small number of time-sensitive messages and another business that generates trillions of messages. This prevents time-sensitive messages from waiting too long for consumption.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Example of correct topic planning:</strong> In e-commerce scenarios, you can use a topic for order-related messages, such as order creation, payment, and canceling, a topic for logistics messages, and another topic for reward point-related messages.</p><p><strong>Examples of incorrect topic planning:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Excessively coarse granularity: causes poor isolation. This does not facilitate independent O\&M and fault handling. An example of this incorrect topic planning practice is to use the same topic for all transaction messages and logistics messages.</p></li><li><p>Excessively fine granularity: consumes a large number of topic resources and increases the system load. An example of this incorrect topic planning practice is to use a separate topic for messages that are produced for each user.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Use a topic to send and receive messages of the same type</strong></p><p>Topic-based business isolation is a design principle of Apache RocketMQ. We recommend that you use different topics for messages that use different business logic. A specific topic must send or receive the same type of messages.</p><p><strong>Avoid automated management of topics</strong></p><p>Topics in Apache RocketMQ are top-level resources and containers that provide separate permission management, observability metrics collection, and monitoring capabilities. System resources are required to create and manage topics. We recommend that you add, delete, modify, or query topics in a production environment only when the operation is required.</p><p>Although Apache RocketMQ provides automatic topic creation, we recommend that you use the feature only in a test environment. If you use the feature in a production environment, a large number of unnecessary topics may be generated. This hinders topic management and consumes additional system resources.</p></div><footer class="theme-doc-footer docusaurus-mt-lg"><div class="theme-doc-footer-edit-meta-row row"><div class="col"><a
