Hi
I'm having a look at Apache Kafka which have some similarities to event store. A feature of Apache Kafka is
"Data streams are partitioned and spread over a cluster of machines to allow data
streams larger than the capability of any single machine.."
Is this possible in event store?
Thank you.
I guess this is not supported? But should be handled on the application level?
We have streams partitioned and a joined read facility we just have not built in sharding yet. So you would have to handle the vnode to node yourself, a simple version of this is a few hours worth of work , production quality and supporting lots of configurability and dynamic repartitioning is a bit more 
Thank you for the detailed answer.
Built in sharding would be a huge selling point in my organization.
Due to data sizes or throughput or?
Due to data sizes.
