Hi, I wanted to confirm the behavior when a new topic is created in a cluster where brokers have rack.id parameter configured.
Lets say we have a 6 broker cluster 3 brokers with rack.id 'RACK1' ( broker ids : 1,2,3 ) 3 brokers with rack.id 'RACK2' ( brokers ids : 4,5,6 ) I created a topic with replication factor 4 Partition 0 : Replica set = 1,4,2,5 ( equal distribution of replicas across racks ) Will replicas always be equally distributed across racks or it can be uneven also like: Replica set = 1,4,2,3 uneven distribution of replicas across racks. 1,2,3 are from same rack thanks, ashish
