Running isolated primary, secondary, etc, Kafka brokers without replication (clients failover to other Kafka brokers if needed). Each broker instance has a single local Zookeeper instance.
Using periodic backups/snapshots of topic data across locations for disaster recovery. It appears without the Zookeeper data, we will be unable to restore a Kafka broker to another server even through we have all its topic data and logs. Is there a way for Zookeeper to auto bootstrap the topic data and high watermark ? What is the procedure? We are strictly using simple consumer. Thank you!
