This configuration variable is used to enable automatic management of the digest partition table — see Digest Rules and Starting a New LogScale Node for more information on digest partition. LogScale will automatically keep the table in sync with the number of partitions in Kafka. This operation does not require rebooting.

The feature can be disabled in case of problems via either the GraphQL mutation setAllowUpdateDesiredDigesters(), or by setting this configuration variable to false. If for any reason you need to disable the feature, please reach out to Support, as we intend to remove the option to handle digest partitions manually in the future.
