KAFKA-19354: KRaft observer should send fetch to best node (#19854)
Observers may get stuck fetching from bootstrap servers even on
discovery of a leader from a fetch response.

Observers currently fetch from bootstrap servers once their fetch
timeout expires, and even on rediscovery of the leader (e.g. observer
receives fetch response indicating location of leader), observers will
not  attempt to resume fetching from the leader.

This change simplifies observer polling logic to just rely on
maybeSendFetchToBestNode which takes care of the logic of selecting
either the leader or bootstrap servers  as the destination based on
timeouts and backoffs.

KRaft (Kafka Raft)

KRaft (Kafka Raft) is a protocol based on the Raft Consensus Protocol tailored for Apache Kafka.

This is used by Apache Kafka in the KRaft (Kafka Raft Metadata) mode. We also have a standalone test server which can be used for performance testing. We describe the details to set this up below.

Run Single Quorum

bin/test-kraft-server-start.sh --config config/kraft.properties --replica-directory-id b8tRS7h4TJ2Vt43Dp85v2A

Run Multi Node Quorum

Create 3 separate KRaft quorum properties as the following:

cat << EOF >> config/kraft-quorum-1.properties

node.id=1
listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092
controller.listener.names=PLAINTEXT
controller.quorum.voters=1@localhost:9092,2@localhost:9093,3@localhost:9094
log.dirs=/tmp/kraft-logs-1
EOF

cat << EOF >> config/kraft-quorum-2.properties

node.id=2
listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9093
controller.listener.names=PLAINTEXT
controller.quorum.voters=1@localhost:9092,2@localhost:9093,3@localhost:9094
log.dirs=/tmp/kraft-logs-2
EOF

cat << EOF >> config/kraft-quorum-3.properties

node.id=3
listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9094
controller.listener.names=PLAINTEXT
controller.quorum.voters=1@localhost:9092,2@localhost:9093,3@localhost:9094
log.dirs=/tmp/kraft-logs-3
EOF

Open up 3 separate terminals, and run individual commands:

bin/test-kraft-server-start.sh --config config/kraft-quorum-1.properties --replica-directory-id b8tRS7h4TJ2Vt43Dp85v2A
bin/test-kraft-server-start.sh --config config/kraft-quorum-2.properties --replica-directory-id Nkij_D9XRiYKNb41SiJo7Q
bin/test-kraft-server-start.sh --config config/kraft-quorum-3.properties --replica-directory-id 4-e97nI7eHPYKfEDtW8rtQ

Once a leader is elected, it will begin writing to an internal __raft_performance_test topic with a steady workload of random data. You can control the workload using the --throughput and --record-size arguments passed to test-kraft-server-start.sh.
