Active-active inter-cluster synchronization

Hi,

I'm evaluating Kafka for an active-active inter-cluster synchronization
scenario (with network partition tolerance). I've read most of what I could
find about this and the section that I think sums it up is
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#datacenters

I would like your opinion about using Kafka for this and the potential
pitfalls that I might encounter if I go down this road.

I would also like to know if the approach recommended in the link I sent is
still the recommended one "For applications that need a global view of all
data you can use mirroring to provide clusters which have aggregate data
mirrored from the local clusters in all datacenters."

If I understood correctly, this means having 2 clusters in each data center
(DC) one for writes and another for reads. The mirrormaker tool would then
be set up to mirror both the write clusters of DC1 and DC2 to each of the
read clusters. Am I right?

Thank you for your help!
