Dynamically adding partitions to a topic/event hub under Event Hubs namespace
Event Hubs provides partitions to scale consumers for parallel processing. The concept of partitions belongs to Topics under Event Hubs namespace. Topics helps categorize the incoming messages and consumer in a group processes the events from one of the Topic partitions. When a Topic is created, the number of partitions are specified at the time of creation. For some special cases though, you may have to add partitions after the Topic has been created. This requires you to dynamically accommodate the addition of partitions. This blog describes the behavior of adding partitions to an existing Topic with Event Hubs. Dynamic additions of partitions is available only on Dedicated Event Hubs clusters and not on Standard Event Hubs namespace.
