Hi, Simply adding the brokers to the cluster will not reassign or redistribute topic partitions to newly added brokers.
As it is also mentioned in documentation. "*However these new servers will not automatically be assigned any data partitions, so unless partitions are moved to them they won't be doing any work until new topics are created. So usually when you add machines to your cluster you will want to migrate some existing data to these machines.*" Please refer this link <http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#basic_ops_cluster_expansion> and the needful.
