Can we have the ReplicationFactor to 1 and no. of replicas to 3 ?
[user@master01 kafka]$ ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test
Topic:test PartitionCount:1 ReplicationFactor:1 Configs:
Topic: test Partition: 0 Leader: 3 Replicas: 3 Isr: 3
As I understand, if ReplicationFactor is n, Replicas can be <=n.
Can someone help me understand the following scenario? As the ReplicationFactor is set 1, where as Kafka show number of Replicas as 3.
