>
> Currently, Kafka doesn't have replication. Each log segment is stored in a
> single broker. This limits both the availability and the durability of Kafka.
> If a broker goes down, all log segments stored on that broker become
> unavailable to consumers. If a broker dies permanently (e.g., disk failure),
> all unconsumed data on that node is lost forever. Our goal is to replicate
> every log segment to multiple broker nodes to improve both the availability
> and the durability.
> We'd like to support the following in Kafka replication:
> 1. Configurable synchronous and asynchronous replication
> 2. Small unavailable window (e.g., less than 5 seconds) during broker
> failures
> 3. Auto recovery when a failed broker rejoins
> 4. Balanced load when a broker fails (i.e., the load on the failed broker is
> evenly spread among multiple surviving brokers)
