Many of the descriptions and diagrams online describe deploying Kafka MirrorMaker into the target data center (near the target Kafka cluster). Since MirrorMaker is supposed to not lose messages, does it matter which data center MirrorMaker is deployed in--source or target data center (with any Kafka MirrorMaker version 0.10.1+)?
It might be easier to collect and observe metrics in the source data center if MirrorMaker is also in the source data center (near the source Kafka cluster), especially if I can't aggregate the metrics from the 2 data centers. Is there anything else that would influence me to deploy in MirrorMaker in either data center? Thanks Vu
