AWS confluent quickstart <https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/confluent-platform/> configures Kafka log.dirs with 4 - 512GB EBS block devices with RAID-0 striping for higher throughput and also helps bypass the 1TB limit of block devices without provisioned IOPS. I have just come across a statement that “*losing a block device in the RAID will causing all the data of all of the other block devices”*, can someone help clarify this!!
Now that Kafka allows multiple directories under log.dirs, *can we mount each block device under a different mount point and configure them as a list of directories under log.dirs?* If that is possible(which it is, I guess), what are the trade-offs?
