Apache Kafka® Cluster Scaling and Automation
https://cnfl.io/kafka-internals-101-m... | With Apache Kafka®, cluster balancing and scaling is a crucial part of running distributed systems, but it can be tricky to handle. Luckily for you, there are tools, tips, and tricks to help with this!
Get an overview of automatic cluster scaling and Self-Balancing Clusters for Apache Kafka, as well as operational tools such as `kafka-reassign-partitions.sh` and the Confluent Auto Data Balancer. Jun Rao (Kafka Committer, PMC Member, VP of Kafka, and Co-Founder, Confluent) explains that because Kafka is designed as a distributed system if resource needs change, the easiest way to address this is by adding or removing brokers. In either case, existing data needs to be redistributed to keep a cluster balanced.
