这部分内容对了解系统和提高软件性能都有很大的帮助，kafka官网上也给出了比较详细的配置详单，但是我们还是直接从代码来看broker到底有哪些配置需要我们去了解的，配置都有英文注释，所以每一部分是干什么的就不翻译了，都能看懂：

import kafka.utils.{Utils, ZKConfig}然后我们看类的写法：
class KafkaConfig(props: Properties) extends ZKConfig(props)我们看到在加载kafkaConfig的时候会加载一个properties对象，同时也会加载有关zookeeper的properties，这个时候我们可以回忆一下，之前我们启动kafka broker的命令：
1. 启动zookeeper server ：bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh ../config/zookeeper.properties & (用&是为了能退出命令行)
2. 启动kafka server: bin/kafka-server-start.sh ../config/server.properties &
所以你能明白，初始化kafka broker的时候程序一定是去加载位于config文件夹下的properties，这个和java都一样没有区别。当然properties我们也可以通过程序来给出，这个我们后面再说，继续看我们的代码。既然找到了对应的properties文件，我们就结合代码和properties一起来看。
Kafka broker的properties中，将配置分为以下六类：
l Server Basics：关于brokerid，hostname等配置
l Socket Server Settings：关于传输的配置，端口、buffer的区间等。
l Log Basics：配置log的位置和partition的数量。
l Log Flush Policy：这部分是kafka配置中最重要的部分，决定了数据flush到disk的策略。
l Log Retention Policy：这部分主要配置日志处理时的策略。
l Zookeeper：配置zookeeper的相关信息。
在文件properties中的配置均出现在kafkaConfig这个类中，我们再看看kafkaConfig中的代码：
/* the broker id for this server */ val brokerId: Int = Utils.getInt(props, "brokerid") /* the SO_SNDBUFF buffer of the socket sever sockets */ val socketSendBuffer: Int = Utils.getInt(props, "socket.send.buffer", 100*1024)凡是参数中有三个的，最后一个是default，而参数只有两个的则要求你一定要配置，否则的话则报错。当然在这么多参数中肯定是有一些经验参数的，至于这些参数怎么配置我确实没有一个特别的推荐，需要在不断的测试中才能磨合出来。
当然你也可以将配置写在程序里，然后通过程序去启动broker，这样kafka的配置就可以像下面一样写：
Properties props = new Properties();props.setProperty("port","9093");props.setProperty("log.dir","/home/kafka/data1");我倒是觉得配置还是直接写在配置文件中比较好，如果需要修改也不会影响正在运行的服务，写在内存中，总是会有些不方便的地方。所以还是建议大家都写配置好了，后面讲到的producer和consumer都一样。
这里再提两个参数一个是brokerid，每个broker的id必须要区分；第二个参数是hostname，这个是broker和producer、consumer联系的关键，这里记住一定要改成你的地址和端口，否则永远连得都是localhost。

下一篇将写producer和consumer的配置了，涉及到这部分就要开始编程了，写着写着又往源码里看进去了，下篇会先讲如何搭建开发环境，然后再写两个简单那的例子去熟悉配置。
