Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-1678:
-------------------------------------
1. It just seems like a reasonable thing to support. Managing re-use of brokers
can be a headache for admins, especially since we are moving in the direction
of auto-generating broker ids (and a lot of places already do that in their
automated install scripts. Joe's example of cloud installs was a good use-case
too.
2. In the future we'll have security and brokers will need to authenticate with
each other in order to get replicas. Losing a broker can mean losing its keys
and then adding a new broker that looks just like the old one will be even more
painful.
> add new options for reassign partition to better manager dead brokers
