[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-7262) Ability to support heterogeneous storage in Kafka

fangbin sun created KAFKA-7262:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Ability to support heterogeneous storage in Kafka
                 Key: KAFKA-7262
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7262
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: log
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: fangbin sun


Currently we have a batch of servers, each broker has one SSD (1.5T) and ten HDDs (10T). For all I know, Kafka itself doesn't know much about the underlying hardware, it chooses the directory with the least number of partitions when creating a topic-partition.

Is it possible to deploy a heterogeneous cluster for taking advantage of SSD with smaller disk capacity? Hope you all consider this. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
