Hi, Last week we set-up a new kafka 0.8 cluster, using the beta1 released available here : http://kafka.apache.org/downloads.html
It worked fine until we tried to replace a node in this cluster. We shutdown a node, then bring up a new one. The new node is registered in zookeeper, but it doesn't get any data. (We have 10 nodes, 10 partitions for each topic, and a replication factor of 3.) We saw that there are some tools available to balance the load, and add some broker to an existing cluster ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Replication+tools#Replicationtools-ClusterExpansion). But it seems they are not yet included in the Kafka version that we download from kafka.apache.org. Is there any branch where we can get a more current - production safe version where we can find the latest tools? Is it safe to get code from trunk and deploy it in production? Thanks Maxime
