Systemd service - what is `multi-user.target`

multi-user.target means that the systemd-service will start when the system reach runlevel 2.

To complement the answer, here's a table of the targets and their run levels:

Run Lvl Target Units                        Description
0       runlevel0.target, poweroff.target   Shut down and power off
1       runlevel1.target, rescue.target     Set up a rescue shell
2,3,4   runlevel[234].target,               Set up a non-gfx multi-user shell
        multi-user.target
5       runlevel5.target, graphical.target  Set up a gfx multi-user shell
6       runlevel6.target, reboot.target     Shut down and reboot the system

This is the dependencies handling mechanism in systemd. multi-user.target is the alternative for runlevel 3 in systemV world. That said, reaching multi-user.target includes starting the "Confluent ZooKeeper" service. Probably that's what you need indeed.

I found this tutorial the simplest to understand. You can run the following command yourself to see what's there:

$ ls -al /lib/systemd/system/runlevel*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel0.target -> poweroff.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel1.target -> rescue.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel2.target -> multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target -> multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel4.target -> multi-user.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target -> graphical.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Apr 25 10:31 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel6.target -> reboot.target

But you should probably just read the linked question accepted answer about targets.
