Re: What happens to Kafka when ZK lost its quorum or becomes unstable?

The brokers are designed with the expectation that ZK service is always
available. If ZK is not available, the clients may not be able to
send/fetch data properly.

 Hi,

 Can the producers, brokers and consumers still be processing messages when
 their ZK cluster lost its quorum or becomes unstable?  I know this is

  So, please enumerate all of those combinations.

 Thanks,
