+Normal topics can be served only by a single broker, which limits the topic's maximum throughput. *Partitioned topics* are a special type of topic that can be handled by multiple brokers, which allows for much higher throughput.

When publishing messages to a partitioned topic, each message is routed to one of several brokers. The distribution of partitions across brokers is handled automatically by Pulsar.
