Description

The example for configuring a stream by partition uses:

Example: task.broadcast.inputs=mySystem.broadcastStream#[1-2], mySystem.broadcastStream#1

Kafka partitions start with index 0. It's very confusing to have both examples start at index 1. This threw me for a bit before I realized that the example was misleading. Not handling partition 0 caused my tasks to crash at startup.
