partitionCount is configured in two places

...once for Zeebe and again for Operate. Since both must match, we should avoid the redundancy, e.g. by using a global value.

See #286 (comment)

Could we emit a warning if the values don't match?

[ChrisKujawa]

Not sure. I would need to investigate this but sound like a good idea

@falko @Zelldon is that still the case where both numbers must match?

[ChrisKujawa]

Yes @aabouzaid

I ran into this trap again while doing full-stack benchmarks and it really takes a while to find the solution.

Fixed via unified config - Operate is now part of unified config. We found out that Optimize still list the option to configure the partitionCount, this will be handled via #4319 (comment)
