It’s official: Apache Kafka ® 2.3 Core Kafka. In order to keep your data safe, Kafka creates several replicas of it on different brokers. Kafka will not allow writes to proceed unless the partition has a minimum number of in-sync replicas. Kafka Connect. has been released! This is called the “minimum ISR.”.

We know that Apache Kafka ® is great when you’re dealing with streams, allowing you to conveniently look at streams as tables. Kafka already allows you to look at data as streams or tables; graphs are a third option, a more natural representation with a lot of grounding in theory for some use cases. 8, and so on.

Put another way, courtesy of Spencer Ruport: LISTENERS are what interfaces Kafka binds to. Apache Kafka ® is a distributed system. You need to tell Kafka how the brokers can reach each other but also make sure that external clients (producers/consumers) can reach the broker they need to reach. Is anyone listening? on AWS, etc.)
