Get Kafka-Nated S2E6: Omnia Ibrahim - KIP-1279, Cross-Cluster Replication
Nobody has much nice to say about MirrorMaker. Cross-cluster replication has been one of Kafka's sore spots for years, and KIP-1279 is the community's attempt to finally fix it. This episode I'm joined by Omnia Ibrahim, Software Engineer at Apple and Apache Kafka Committer, to talk about what's actually broken in multi-cluster Kafka today, what KIP-1279 changes, and what teams running active-active or active-passive setups should do in the meantime.
