Hi, We are currently facing a prolonged leader election time, approx 2 mins, in a Kafka cluster (version 2.8.2) that is configured with Zookeeper. This cluster has large number of topic partitions.
The issue arises during the rolling restarts of the servers in the Kafka cluster. This extended leader election time is causing communication issues and unavailability for producers and consumers as they are unable to connect to Kafka within this timeframe. Any recommendations on reducing the leader election time? Issue is occurring on Kafka 2.8.2 with Zookeeper
