> Key: KAFKA-2225
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2225
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Theo Hultberg
> Assignee: Parth Brahmbhatt
>
> Currently clients are not allowed to fetch from replicas, even if they are in
> sync with the master. If I'm not missing anything significant it shouldn't be
> any difference fetching from the leader or an ISR, besides maybe some extra
> latency.
> For our use case it would be very beneficial to be able to fetch from
> replicas instead of just the leader. We run Kafka clusters that replicate
> across EC2 availability zones, and each byte sent between zones costs money.
> This bandwith usage costs us about the same as it costs to run the instances.
> If we could fetch from a replica in the same zone as the client we could
> avoid some of this cost.
