Practise the standard verbs for partitioning Kafka topics correctly.

Fill in: 'We ___ enough partitions up front since increasing partition count later can break existing key-based ordering.'
We 'create partitions' — the standard, simple collocation for provisioning a topic's parallelism. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'An uneven key distribution can ___ one partition far hotter than the rest, bottlenecking that consumer alone.'
We say skewed keys will 'leave' one partition hot — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting imbalance. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a partition key from the message so related events for the same entity always land on the same partition.'
We 'derive a key' — the standard, established Kafka collocation for computing a partition key from message content. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ consumer lag per partition, not just per topic, so one stuck partition doesn't hide behind a healthy average.'
We 'monitor' lag — the standard collocation for ongoing observation of a metric. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ partition count against expected consumer parallelism so we never provision more consumers than partitions.'
We 'size' a resource — the standard collocation for choosing an appropriate capacity value. The other options are less idiomatic here.
