Hi Jun, Thanks for the reply.
But this case arises one more questions that, If all the 3 down brokers are crashed and we have added some new brokers, is there any way to re-balance those replicas to make partition available? OR any tool to balance the number of replicas if any one of the ISR goes down but the controller active? As this helps to make high data availability.
