we would be very happy to contribute. However a description of the current plan and status regarding tooling would be helpful. It would speed up the learning curve. You mentioned some jira tickets? (maybe I should sign up to the developer mailing list and take the conversation over there) On

The idea is to bake the functionality of such a tool in Kafka itself. In an ideal world, a Kafka cluster would automatically detect leader and data imbalance and trigger a rebalance operation that leads to optimal performance. I'm not sure if we have a JIRA for this though. So feel free to create

Since these tools are so useful, I wonder what it requires (from both Airbnb and Kafka) to merge this into Kafka project. I think there are couple of Jira regarding improved tool usability that this resolved. On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 11:45 AM, Alexis Midon alexis.mi...@airbedandbreakfast.com

distribution will be even based on the number of partitions. It is the same logic as AdminUtils. see https://github.com/airbnb/kafkat/blob/master/lib/kafkat/command/reassign.rb#L39 On Sun, Sep 14, 2014 at 6:05 PM, Neha Narkhede neha.narkh...@gmail.com wrote: This is great. Thanks for sharing!

This is great. Thanks for sharing! Does kafkat automatically figure out the right reassignment strategy based on even data distribution? On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 12:12 AM, Alexis Midon alexis.mi...@airbedandbreakfast.com wrote: Hi Marcin, A few weeks ago, I did an upgrade to 0.8.1.1 and then

Hi Marcin, A few weeks ago, I did an upgrade to 0.8.1.1 and then augmented the cluster from 3 to 9 brokers. All went smoothly. In a dev environment, we found out that the biggest pain point is to have to deal with the json file and the error-prone command line interface. So to make our life

I am running on 0.8.1.1 and I thought that the partition reassignment tools can do this job. Just was not sure if this is the best way to do this. I will try this out in stage env first and will perform the same in prod. Thanks, marcin On Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 7:23 PM, Joe Stein

Migrating data from old brokers to new borkers question

Hi, I would like to migrate my Kafka setup from old servers to new servers. Let say I have 8 really old servers that have the kafka topics/partitions replicated 4 ways and want to migrate the data to 4 brand new servers and want the replication factor be 3. I wonder if anyone has ever performed

If you are also planning on a version upgrade as part of this, it might be safer to create the new cluster separately and use the mirror maker to copy data over. On Aug 26, 2014 6:29 AM, Marcin Michalski mmichal...@tagged.com wrote: Hi, I would like to migrate my Kafka setup from old servers to

Marcin, that is a typical task now. What version of Kafka are you running? Take a look at https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#basic_ops_cluster_expansion and https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#basic_ops_increase_replication_factor Basically you can do a --generate to get
