> |Machines in data centre are sometimes grouped in racks. Racks provide isolation as each rack may be in a different physical location and has its own power source. When tasks are properly replicated across racks, it provides fault tolerance in that if a rack goes down, the remaining racks can continue to serve traffic.
>
> This feature is already implemented at Kafka [KIP-36|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-36+Rack+aware+replica+assignment] but we needed similar for task assignments at Kafka Streams Application layer.
>
> This features enables replica tasks to be assigned on different racks for fault-tolerance.
> NUM_STANDBY_REPLICAS = x
> totalTasks = x+1 (replica + active)
> # If there are no rackID provided: Cluster will behave rack-unaware
> # If same rackId is given to all the nodes: Cluster will behave rack-unaware
> # If (totalTasks <= number of racks), then Cluster will be rack aware i.e. each replica task is each assigned to a different rack.
> # Id (totalTasks > number of racks), then it will first assign tasks on different racks, further tasks will be assigned to least loaded node, cluster wide.|
> We have added another config in StreamsConfig called "RACK_ID_CONFIG" which helps StickyPartitionAssignor to assign tasks in such a way that no two replica tasks are on same rack if possible.
> Post that it also helps to maintain stickyness with-in the rack.|
