Kafka - Multi-Datacenter and ReplicationYou want to ensure minimal data loss during a disaster. Which combination is best for Kafka disaster recovery?AUse topic replication factor 3 and MirrorMaker to backup clusterBUse only MirrorMaker without replication factor increaseCUse replication factor 1 and rely on manual backupsDUse Kafka Streams to replicate data to backup clusterCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Understand replication factor roleA replication factor of 3 means data is copied to 3 brokers, reducing data loss risk.Step 2: Combine with MirrorMaker backupMirrorMaker copies data to a separate cluster, adding disaster recovery protection.Final Answer:Use topic replication factor 3 and MirrorMaker to backup cluster -> Option AQuick Check:Replication + MirrorMaker = minimal data loss [OK]Quick Trick: Combine replication factor and MirrorMaker for best safety [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESRelying only on MirrorMaker without replicationUsing replication factor 1 which risks data lossConfusing Kafka Streams with replication tool
