Hi Team, Kafka version: 2_2.12-2.6.0 Zookeeper version: 3.8.x
We have a Kafka Cluster of 12 brokers spread equally across 3 racks. Topic gets auto created with default num.partitions=6 and replication_factor=3. It is observed that replicas are equally distributed over racks but within the rack the replicas are randomly distributed like sometimes 3,3,0,0 or sometimes 3:2:1 or sometime 2,2,1,1 Is there a configuration to evenly distribute replicas across brokers within a rack, maybe some sort of round robin strategy 2,2,1,1? And also it is observed that over time 1 broker ends up having way more replicas across topics than the other broker in the same rack. Is there a config for even distribution of replicas across topics also? Regards, Abhishek Singla
