What is the role of Zookeeper in Kafka?
← All Apache Kafka questions
Re-explain
Zookeeper manages Kafka cluster coordination and metadata:
Responsibilities:
- Broker discovery and health monitoring
- Topic and partition metadata storage
- Leader election for partitions
- Consumer group coordination (legacy)
- Configuration management
Note: Kafka is moving away from Zookeeper dependency with KRaft (Kafka Raft) mode, which handles metadata management internally.
