Ingest same data in Kafka topic

[#1]

Team,

What will be happened if we ingest same data, in particular, Kafka topic again? Will it overwrite the data or will make another copy of data or it will just ignore and notify.

Hi @Nilesh

There's no relation between data in two different topics. Reading from one topic and writing to another one will copy (and duplicate) data

Hi @ Abdelkrim Hadjidj

Thank you for the reply. My question is I am ingesting same data again and again on the same topic then what will happen? Will it overwrite the data or will make another copy of data or it will just ignore and notify?

Thank you.

@Nilesh same answer for one topic. If you send the same data several times to Kafka you will get it several times when you consume.

Just look at Kafka as a distibuted log file. even if you insert the same data, again and again, it just appends the data into a distibuted log file.
