## Weighted Distributed Topic

A weighted distributed topic is a logical topic that references one or more physical topics, where each physical topic must be individually configured. The legacy weighted distributed topic feature is still available for users who prefer to manually fine-tune members to carry extra message load or have extra capacity, but this feature was deprecated in WebLogic version 10.3.6 and may be removed in a future version, so its use is discouraged. Instead of configuring weighted distributed topics, Oracle strongly recommends configuring uniform distributed topics. Uniform distributed topics require less configuration, and avoid possible administrative and application problems due to a weighted distributed topic not being deployed consistently across a cluster.
