Currently kafka does not support cluster auto-healing. If there is a broker failure, we need to manually reassign the workload on the failed broker to other brokers. The kafka community had some discussion on kafka self-healing (see KIP-46, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-46%3A+Self+Healing+Kafka), but it has not been supported yet.
