Apache Kafka mirror maker 2.0

Apache Kafka MirrorMaker 2 is a tool that enables the replication of data between Kafka clusters. It’s commonly used for scenarios where you need to replicate data across different Kafka clusters, potentially in different data centers or regions. This replication helps with data backup, disaster recovery, data migration, and distribution of data to different environments (e.g., development, testing, production). It’s an improved version of the original MirrorMaker with better performance and reliability.

Use Cases:

1. Data Replication and Backup: MirrorMaker 2 can be used to replicate data from a primary Kafka cluster to a secondary cluster for backup and data recovery purposes. If the primary cluster goes down, the secondary cluster can take over and continue processing data.
2. Disaster Recovery: In case of data center failures or other disasters, MirrorMaker 2 can ensure that your data is available in a separate location or cloud region, reducing downtime and data loss.
3. Data Migration: When you’re transitioning from an older Kafka cluster to a newer one or migrating to a different infrastructure provider, MirrorMaker 2 can help move your data…
