Hi As I understand the producer in Kafka connect to broker list first to fetch the metadata. Procedure uses that data to directly connect to leader for partition that it's trying to publish to.

Meaning after the partition is >assigned to a consumer, the consumer will directly connect to leader to read >the message. Could provide some insight to that communication process (after partition is assigned to consumer) between the broker and consumer. And if partition leadership changes, how consumers become aware of that.
