In a Kafka KRaft cluster they can be either brokers, controllers or both. The term we use is node. A Kafka node can be either a broker, controller or both. For example, we have the following configuration documentation: node.id The node ID associated with the roles this process is playing when `process.roles` is non-empty. This is required configuration when running in KRaft mode. >From https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#brokerconfigs_node.id > Also how about replacing "Replica" with "Leader", this is more readable on > the client. so, how about this? I vote for "Node". Note that this array is a mapping of replica/node id to their endpoint. For example, in the future we may use it to send endpoint information when sending the replica id to fetch from a follower. Thanks, -- -José
