Thank you Jun that is quite helpful. I have a question about Kafka Clusters. What are the minimum number and types of services that must be running to make up a Kafka Cluster?
I ask this because the diagrams (in the Kafka Mirroring document) allude to a multiple broker environment, however, since each broker does not appear to provide redundancy (as of today) to any of the other brokers in a given zookeeper service, it seems like a Kafka Cluster is nothing more than a grouping of a single zookeeper instance with a single Kafka broker, is this the correct understanding?
