brocker.rack is not considered for generating assignments
I've got a 6 nodes cluster in AWS with broker.rack specified, e.g. broker.rack=us-east-1b.
So there are two in us-east-1a, us-east-1b and us-east-1c.
The plan generated by "Generate Partition Assignments" do not take that setting into account and assigns two partitions (out of three) to instances in the same AZ (with the same broker.rack setting).
On the other hand
kafka-reassign-partitions.sh --zookeeper zoo1-zookeeper.production:2181 --topics-to-move-json-file topics-to-move.json --broker-list "0,1,2,3,4,5" --generate
does consider broker.rack.
I've got a 9 nodes cluster, broker.rack specified. I can't use the kafka manager to do the reblanace operation, only through the command line.
bin/kafka-reassign-partitions.sh --zookeeper kafka_host:19000/kafka11 --topics-to-move-json-file topics-to-move.json --broker-list "193,194,286,527,528,529,843,844,873" --generate
