We have an existing cluster that is CentOS 7 and we need to migrate to Ubuntu in the next 8 months. We are unable to build a new cluster and deploy because of the complexities in clients (producers and consumers). We would like to either.
1. Replace individual CentOS nodes one at a time (both broker and ZK) with Ubuntu nodes. Has anyone run mixed OS nodes in a cluster? This would only be for a short period of time. 2. Just add Ubuntu nodes and migration partitions. Same issue...we would be running mixed OS nodes at the same time. The bottom line is can I run (for a short time) a mix of CentOS7 and Ubuntu nodes in the same cluster (ZK as well) -- Gene Robichaux Senior Director, Platform Engineering Match/Affinity
