Hello Apache Kafka community, On Apache Kafka website home page http://kafka.apache.org/ it is stated that Kafka "can be elastically and transparently expanded without downtime." Is that really true? More specifically, can one just add one more broker, have another partition added for the topic, have new broker assigned to be the leader for new partition, have producers correctly write to the new partition, and consumers read from it, with no broker, consumer or producer downtime, no data loss, no manual action to move data from existing partitions to new partition?
Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
