Hi Guys, I would like to have Kafka Cluster which is dependent on Zookeeper like many other great projects out their. Kafka would have 4 nodes as its cluster since their having even number is not a problem because it does leader election based its config it keeps in zookeeper.
My scenario is having two server rooms on different floors having fiber connectivity with each other so network latency / lag is almost like a local connection. However, I would like to implement zookeeper cluster between both of them for auto-failover / redundancy purposes. So if one server room is down other should work properly. For example: on a 5 node zookeeper cluster distributed on both of the server rooms with 3 in one and 2 in other would give me 2 node failure tolerance, However if the server room which has 3 servers is down then ensemble would be broken and split brain. Can you please suggest how to achieve this to have failover / redundancy between two server rooms or two locations lets say ? Is it possible to run 3 node cluster in each server room and have some sort of master-master between them ? Thank for your time and helping out in advance. Kind regards, Le
