Hi there, I recently ran into an issue where I noticed that we had many old broker and <default> configs set in zookeeper that were migrated over in KRaft mode.
For example, this was a cluster default from 2020 that was moved over: get /config/brokers/<default> {"version":1,"config":{"num.network.threads":"6","num.io.threads":"8"}} We currently have these configs set up in our broker properties and controller properties file in the configmap: num.network.threads=16 num.io.threads=48 The cluster is now running in KRaft mode but we've encountered issues with the DynamicConfigPublisher modifying/using these default configs instead of the ones we set up in the configmap. {"source_class":"kafka_log","level":"INFO","time":"","msg":"[DynamicConfigPublisher broker id=0] Updating cluster configuration : num.network.threads -> 6,num.io.threads -> 8,num.replica.fetchers -> 3 "} {"source_class":"kafka_log","level":"INFO","time":"","msg":"Resizing network thread pool size for ListenerName(CONTROLLER) listener from 12 to 6 "} We never saw this issue in Zookeeper mode but this is blocking our Cruise Control rebalances from executing. A couple questions I have: 1. Is this expected? Should the controllers be looking at the default config? 2. Is there a way to add some kind of cleanup to Zookeeper to clean up old brokers that no longer exist from /config/brokers? 3. How can I point KRaft controllers to use the values we have set up in the config map and not these default values? 4. If I were to dynamically set a value for a broker, why doesn't it override the default? Any answers/help would be appreciated! Thank you! -- Sanaa
