Kafka - Cluster Architecture
What is a key advantage of Kafka's distributed architecture compared to a centralized system in terms of reliability?
AIt reduces network traffic by centralizing all data on one broker
BIt eliminates single points of failure by distributing data and workload
CIt simplifies configuration by using a single broker for all topics
DIt guarantees zero latency in message delivery
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Distributed architecture spreads data across multiple brokers

    This avoids dependency on a single broker.

  2. Step 2: Eliminating single points of failure

    If one broker fails, others continue serving data, enhancing reliability.

  3. Final Answer:

    It eliminates single points of failure by distributing data and workload -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Distributed = no single failure point [OK]
Quick Trick: Distributed systems avoid single points of failure [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking distributed means less network traffic
  • Assuming centralized is simpler for reliability
  • Believing distributed guarantees zero latency
