That’s great Alex, thank you -----Original Message----- From: Alex Loddengaard [mailto:a...@confluent.io] Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2016 9:59 AM To: users@kafka.apache.org Subject: Re: Leader Election
Hi Heath, I assume you're referring to the partition leader. This is not something you need to worry about when using the REST API. Kafka handles leader election, failure recovery, etc. for you behind the scenes. Do know that if a leader fails, you'll experience a small latency hit because a new leader needs to be elected for the partitions that were led by said failed leader.
