+ <h3>Migration Phases</h3>
+ In general, the migration process passes through several phases.
- <h3>Terminology</h3>
- <p>
- We use the term "migration" here to refer to the process of changing a
Kafka cluster's metadata
- system from ZooKeeper to KRaft and migrating existing metadata. An
"upgrade" refers to installing a newer version of Kafka. It is not recommended
to
- upgrade the software at the same time as performing a metadata migration.
- </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>In the <b>initial phase</b>, all the brokers are in ZK mode, and there
is a ZK-based controller.</li>
+ <li>During the <b>initial metadata load</b>, a KRaft quorum loads the
metadata from ZooKeeper,</li>
+ <li>In <b>hybrid phase</b>, some brokers are in ZK mode, but there is a
KRaft controller.</li>
+ <li>In <b>dual-write phase</b>, all brokers are KRaft, but the KRaft
controller is continuing to write to ZK.</li>
+ <li>When the migration has been <b>finalized</b>, we no longer write
metadata to ZooKeeper.</li>
+ </ul>
Review Comment:
I think distinguishing "hybrid phase" from "dual-write phase" is useful,
even though they both map to the same `MigrationState` enum.
"migration phases" aren't "migration states" (and actually, we don't discuss
migration states in this doc)
