Default value of the Partition Number in Kafka connector publishMessages operation need to be updated.

[chathuranga-jayanath-99]

Current Limitation

When we create a kafka topic there should be at least one partition. If there is only one partition then the partition number is 0. Currently there is no default value provided. If there is only one partition and providing 1 as the Partition Number won't run the project in the expected manner. If we provide 0, then it will work fine.

Suggested Improvement

We can provide a default value for Partition Number and for example it can be 0. If providing 0 not intuitive, then we can improve that in the connector by updating how we handle the Partition Number.
