Hi Roman, I have not heard of an automated way to do this. You have to manually reassign partitions from the Kafka broker you're planning on removing from the cluster. Have a look at the section "decommissioning brokers" in the documentation: https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#basic_ops_decommissioning_brokers
