Hi, Currently I have 3 node kafka cluster, and I want to add 2 more nodes to make it 5 node cluster. -After adding the nodes to cluster, I need all the topic partitions to be evenly distributed across all the 5 nodes. -In the past, when I ran kafka-reassign-partitions.sh & kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh, it ran for very long time, hung & made the cluster unstable. So I'm afraid to use this method.
Can you please suggest the best & foolproof way to assign partitions among all the cluster nodes. Thanks, Vinay
