Yep, I've voted.  The references that I've seen on the Internet are somewhat dated and apply to an older version of NFS which is why I'm asking the question.  It's fine if 'not recommended', but our customer using Kafka has tested performance for their load successfully and changing from NFS (private cloud implementation) is not a short term option.  They are probably willing to live with some 'pain', but don't want to see that it is completely unworkable somewhere down the line while they consider extending their private cloud with other options.

> I've gone through the Apache Kafka Documentation. It does not contain information about the support of underlying storage type, whether Kafka supports block storage, Network File System (NFS) and/or others. On the internet, I could find that it supports NFS, however most of them summarize not to use NFS in Production. May we get proper information whether Kafka recommends NFS in Production, or it doesn't support NFS to begin with?
