Research direction

Start with the linked Kafka rack-awareness documentation. Use it to define what support the operator must provide and how broker rack awareness will be verified; the issue does not name files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

customer-request

Kafka supports rack awareness, see https://kafka.apache.org/39/documentation.html#basic_ops_racks.
