Hello, in order to try running Kafka in Kubernetes I'm facing the following problem ...
Imagine that I start a cluster with a zookeeper instance and two kafka broker. I create a topic with one partition but replication factor 2 : I have broker1 as leader and broker2 as follower. All works great ! Imagine that the pod where the broker2 is running stops to work. Kubernetes starts a new pod (let me name it broker3) but with a different IP. What's the right way to make the new broker instance as a follower for the broker1 in order to have it "in sync" and guarantee the replication factor 2 for the topic ? Thanks, Paolo.
