> While moving partitions, the controller moves the old replicas through the
> following state changes -
> ONLINE -> OFFLINE -> NON_EXISTENT
> During the offline state change, the controller removes the old replica and
> writes the updated ISR to zookeeper and notifies the leader. Note that it
> doesn't notify the old replicas to stop fetching from the leader (to be fixed
> in KAFKA-1032). During the non-existent state change, the controller does not
> write the updated ISR or replica list to zookeeper. Right after the
> non-existent state change, the controller writes the new replica list to
> zookeeper, but does not update the ISR. So an old replica can send a fetch
> request after the offline state change, essentially letting the leader add it
> back to the ISR. The problem is that if there is no new data coming in for
> the partition and the old replica is fully caught up, the leader cannot
> remove it from the ISR. That lets a non existent replica live in the ISR at
> least until new data comes in to the partition
