Thanks for the report, Karolis.
I have a potential theory for how this happened and I'm wondering if it's
possibly valid:
I have 9 partitions on a machine with 3 disks and they get assigned exactly
as you'd expect:
d1: t{1,2,3}
d2: t{4,5,6}
d3: t{7,8,9}
Then, a disk fails or something
It's difficult enough to balance kafka brokers with a single log
directory, not to mention attempting to juggle multiple ones. While JBOD
is great in terms of capacity, it's a pain in terms of management. After
6 months of constant manual reassignments I ended up going with RAID1+0
which is
Hello,
My kafka deploy has 5 servers with 3 log disks each. Over the weekend I
noticed that on 2 of the 5 servers the partitions appear to be imbalanced
amongst the log.dirs.
