partitions are never automatically moved. They are assigned to broker(s)
and stay that way unless reassignments are triggered by external tools.
(leadership can move automatically though, if RF>1).
There's more info on partitions and moving partitions at these two links:
https://kafka.apache.org/d
I have a few questions on behavior of kafka w.r.t to broker life-cycle
changes.
1. When a new broker is added to the cluster, do we need to manually invoke
rebalancing or based on the load, kafka automatically invokes rebalancing ?
2. When an active broker goes down, does Kafka moves the partitio
