Can a Kafka Controller Cluster support multiple Kafka setups like ZooKeeper does (with chroot paths)?"
Existing setup: In existing setup we are using single zookeeper setup for multiple kafka setups(8). one ZooKeeper cluster handling multiple Kafka clusters using different paths (/kafka-cluster1, /kafka-cluster2, etc.
Expected one: As we are planning to migrate kafka from zookeeper to kraft so i would like to know do we have that possibility in kraft like single kafka controller setup can support multiple kafka setups?
Please help me with your insights on this..
No, this is not possible in KRaft mode. A KRaft controller quorum handles a single Kafka cluster.
One feature of KRaft is that a server can be both a broker and controller at the same time (combined mode). Note however that this is not recommended for critical production environments. See https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#kraft_role
