Thanks for the reference. But it doesn't seem to cover how a particular topic is assigned to a particular broker and also how the replicas are chosen. For eg if I have brokers A B C D and E what algorithm is used to assign a topic X and partition 1 to brokers B D and E if the chosen replication factor is 3. Is this information persisted somewhere? Sorry just getting my feet wet.
