I know in kafka, quotas are used to control client traffic. Recently they proposed something called replication quota which controls replication traffic rate. I've read about them here <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-73+Replication+Quotas>
But I still have few more questions regarding replication quota a) Will replication quotas be valid even when partitions do not move/reassigned? i.e. will replicas be rate-limited during normal circumstances b) Can I apply replication quota for a particular client-id? If yes, how can I do that? c) Can I apply replication quota for a particular topic? If yes, how can I do that? Thanks, Archie
