Hi all! Ok I was playing those days with replication for a specific purpose:having a failover solution with 2 physical servers. So the idea is to have 2 zookeeper (ZK) nodes on 1 box and 1 ZP on the 2nd node. Then 3 Kafka brokers on each nodes (so 6 in total). I want to have a fail over issue in case the box1 fails so I still have my data into my replicated node.
But it seems far more complex that I thought... I first think that forcing the replica of my partition on box1 to be replicated to box2 should be enough but I am not sure it's going to work as expected. I see that confluent as a replicator tool (not sure if it is open source or not) and also the ureplicator from uber (https://github.com/uber/uReplicator) that could fit my needs. Can someone share with me how can I achieve this fail over thing based on your own experiment? Thanks! R.
