> Because the topic is single-partition, it needs to be stored on a single disk, due to the way Kafka stores partitions. This is not a problem for us in practice, since all our content is text produced by humans — our total corpus right now is less than 100GB, and disks are growing bigger faster than our journalists can write. Before this line, the author mentions they also store images. There's no way that all their text + images is <100GB right? Something is inconsistent here.
