Kafka Topic partitions losing replication factor

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody has seen the following:

I have a topic with about 200 partitions and with a replication factor of
3. Once in a while I am seeing a partition or two lose a replica. That is
the replica list for those partitions goes from 3 to 2 brokers. Kafka does
not see anything wrong, all the kafka brokers seem healthy, and I don't see
any errors in the logs. The topic still has a replication of 3. To fix
this I have to create a partition reassignment plan and add back the third
replica.

Has anybody seen anything similar?

Thanks!
