You then also need to set this up for each topic you create: > bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor > 3 --partitions 3 --topic my-replicated-topic

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.
