Hi Rameshkanna N, My reading based on the KIP-631 is the quorum-based Kafka controller stores metadata. The leader of this controller quorum writes to the metadata topic partition, and the followers replicate it. From the perspective of administrative task, this description is enough.
KIP-631 contains more details: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-631%3A+The+Quorum-based+Kafka+Controller Hope this helps!

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION when clicking links or attachments Hi team, In Zookeeper based Kafka mode, one of the Kafka brokers can act as a controller for performing administrative tasks. In new launch of Kafka, KRaft mode introduced. In KRaft eliminates the Zookeeper dependency and uses Raft algorithm for managing meta data. Now my query is in KRaft mode, is there is broker controller available? Or KRaft quorum controller can do the administrative tasks and there is no broker controller?. I study lot of articles and docs but it's not clarify my doubt. Any of of you can clear my queries, It will be more help full for my career? Thanks & Regards, Rameshkanna N
