Hello, I realise this is a Kafka question. Since there are quite a few Kafka experts here and the answer to this question can help Samza community as well, bringing this question here.
We are testing Kafka redundancy (just 2 brokers for now). We have increased replication factor to 2 servers (Both kafka brokers) We have included auto.leader.rebalance.enable=true so that the leader gets redundancy and bounced Kafka. We have moved the topic across both the servers. Below table shows the sequence of events. Can someone please explain why we see this behaviour in step 4? Broker 1 Broker 2 Kafka status Step 1 Up Up Running Step 2 Down Up Running Step 3 Up Up Running Step 4 Up Down Not running (Connection refused)
