Thanks. So if I create three brokers all pointing to the same Zookeeper instance, then define offsets.topic.replication.factor=3 transaction.state.log.replication.factor=3 the brokers will find each other via Zookeeper and dynamically created topics (which is all I've used so far) will be properly replicated? Should I also bump transaction.state.log.min.isr above 1? Apologies for such basic questions. I'm still trying to absorb the documentation related to overall architecture and broker specifics. Skip
