What is the maximum limit of the number of partitions in a Kafka topic?

Suppose, I usually create 40 partitions. I want to know what's the limit and what determines the partition limit in a Kafka topic.

The answer is closely related to the version of the Kafka broker that you are running. A reasonably up to date cluster can hold up to 4,000 partitions per broker and up to 200,000 partitions in a cluster.
