when adding a new broker, does kafka automatically create partitions of existing topics on it? (0.7.1)

Hi all,

As I remembered 0.7.0 requires manually create partitions for existing
topics when we add new brokers. Does 0.7.1 automatically create partitions
on newly added brokers? It seems to be doing that, just want to confirm.

Also, if that true, is there a way to prevent existing topic being added to
new brokers?

This is changed in 0.8. The # of partitions is defined at topic creation
time and it doesn't change with more brokers.

Thanks,

Jun
