Hi Liam - I did not understand cloning kafka broker volumes. if you have 1 TB disk , Assuming the usage is 65% data in the volume is changing so fast. take 650 GB every hour or every min ? how do we restore if there was failure?
Oracle database provides point in time recovery(incremental+full backup+archive logs) of their database. is it possible to recover kafka like that? We had storage failure of the entire site. We were not confident on the data recovered on kafka compared to oracle database. We had 3 kafka nodes with no mirror maker. My understanding is replication and mirror maker works until there is no lag on replication. There is no guarantee of data loss. I never tested mirror maker with compact topics.
