> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1464
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: replication
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: mjuarez
> Assignee: Ben Stopford
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: replication, replication-tools
> Fix For: 0.10.1.0
>
>
> When performing replication on new nodes of a Kafka cluster, the replication
> process will use all available resources to replicate as fast as possible.
> This causes performance issues (mostly disk IO and sometimes network
> bandwidth) when doing this in a production environment, in which you're
> trying to serve downstream applications, at the same time you're performing
> maintenance on the Kafka cluster.
> An option to throttle the replication to a specific rate (in either MB/s or
> activities/second) would help production systems to better handle maintenance
> tasks while still serving downstream applications.
