node.id vs broker.id in KRaft mode

Question

The default config for running Kafka in KRaft mode (in config/kraft/server.properties) does not have broker.id. Instead it has node.id. What is the difference between these fields? Confluent says to set broker.id.generation.enable=true when not running in KRaft mode. Is there an equivalent value when running KRaft mode?

Answer 1

The difference is that broker.id is for installs that use Zookeeper and node.id is for installs that use KRaft. There is no equivalent broker.id.generation.enable when using KRaft.
