A Zookeeper configuration has tickTime of 2000, initLimit of 20 and syncLimit of 5. What's the
timeout value for followers to connect to Zookeeper?
D

In Avro, adding an element to an enum without a default is a __ schema evolution
A
Explanation:
Since Confluent 5.4.0, Avro 1.9.1 is used. Since default value was added to enum complex type , the
schema resolution changed from:
(<1.9.1) if both are enums:** if the writer's symbol is not present in the reader's enum, then an error
is signalled. **(>=1.9.1) if both are enums:
if the writer's symbol is not present in the reader's enum and the reader has a default value, then
that value is used, otherwise an error is signalled.

How will you set the retention for the topic named “my-topic” to 1 hour?
C
Explanation:
retention.ms can be configured at topic level while creating topic or by altering topic. It shouldn't be
set at the broker level (log.retention.ms) as this would impact all the topics in the cluster, not just the
