Hi, In kafka 0.10 is there a way to configure the consumer such that it is rack aware? We replicate data across all our 'racks' and want consumers to choose brokers that are rack local whenever possible. Our configured racks are actually in different datacenters so there is much higher network cost of not consuming from nearest replica.
Configuring the consumer to only consume from specific hosts would also achieve what we are trying to do if that is possible? Also, are there any major downsides to using the rack setting for cross datacenter replication? Thanks, Ezra
