How does DataPower communicate with multiple endpoints in a Kafka Cluster and multiple Kafka Clusters?

  • 1.  How does DataPower communicate with multiple endpoints in a Kafka Cluster and multiple Kafka Clusters?

    In this example how exactly does DataPower connect to the multiple endpoints, e.g. round-robin, top-down or all of them somehow?

    kafka-cluster "PublishCluster1"

      protocol ssl

      endpoint "111.domain.net" "38900"

      endpoint "222.domain.net" "38900"

      endpoint "333.domain.net" "38900"

      endpoint "444.domain.net" "38900"

    kafka-cluster "PublishCluster2"

      protocol ssl

      endpoint "555.domain.net" "38900"

      endpoint "666.domain.net" "38900"

      endpoint "777.domain.net" "38900"

      endpoint "888.domain.net" "38900"

    Allow me to be wrong, but, the first host in a cluster is the default.  Others are added for failover and must be in the same cluster.

    It should go top down until it succeeds, and then the actual Kafka cluster itself should take care of the rest.
