Sharad, At LinkedIn, the mirroring cluster accesses ZK in another DC remotely. So far, we haven't seen any problem with this setup. We haven't used ZK observers yet, but it could be a good idea. One thing is that the mirroring cluster also writes to the remote ZK to checkpoint the consumer offset. Not sure if observers help here.
