Dear Kafka experts i have a 10 broker kafka cluster with all topics having replication factor as 3 and partition 50
min.in.synch replicas is 2. One broker went down for a hardware failure, but many applications complained they are not able to produce /consume messages. I request you to please suggest, how do i overcome this problem and make kafka high available even during broker being down or during rolling restarts. IS there a configuration at a topic level i can set it up to have new partition created in active and running brokers when a node is down ? i read through ack -0/1/all to be set at application /producer end .But applications are not ready to change ack all . Can you please suggest . many thanks in advance
