Restart a Kafka cluster

You can restart all pods of the cluster. When an exception occurs in a database, you can try to restart it.

note

The pod role may change after the cluster restarts.

Steps

1. Create an OpsRequest to restart a cluster.

   kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
   apiVersion: apps.kubeblocks.io/v1alpha1
   kind: OpsRequest
   metadata:
     name: ops-restart
     namespace: demo
   spec:
     clusterName: mycluster
     type: Restart 
     restart:
     - componentName: broker
   EOF

2. Check the pod and operation status to validate the restarting.

   kubectl get pod -n demo
   
   kubectl get ops ops-restart -n demo
   >
   NAME          TYPE      CLUSTER     STATUS    PROGRESS   AGE
   ops-restart   Restart   mycluster   Succeed   1/1        3m26s

   During the restarting process, there are two status types for pods.

   • STATUS=Terminating: it means the cluster restart is in progress.
   • STATUS=Running: it means the cluster has been restarted.
