Hello, I am running 3 brokers, one zookeeper and producer all on separate machine. I am also sending very low load around 6K msg/sec. Each msg is around 150 bytes only. I ran the load for only 5 minutes and during this time, I see leadership chained very often.
I created 3 partitions. Here leadership for each partitions changed. All 3 brokers are running perfectly fine. No broker is down. Could someone let me know why kafka leadership changed very often.
