Tuning Recommendation
| Profile | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| broker / throughput, latency | 60 | After rolling restarts or broker failures, partition leadership clusters on surviving brokers. The default 5-minute rebalance check window means throughput is unevenly distributed for up to 5 minutes. 60 seconds cuts recovery time 5x. |
