Choosing brokers when creating topics
Hi
Is it possible to choose which brokers to use when creating a topic?
The general command of creating topic is:
*bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181
--replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test*
What I'm looking for is:
*bin/kafka-topics.sh --create ..... "--broker-to-use xxx;xxx;xxx"*
*It's because, I want the topic to be hosted on the brokers which
would be closest to the possible producer.*
* Thanks in advance.*

Hi Even
Thanks for your reply.
I've been using the kafka-reassign-partition tool.
But --replica-assignment is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks

Try the --replica-assignment option for kafka-topics.sh. It allows you to
specify which brokers to assign as replicas instead of relying on the
assignments being made automatically.
