Glen Mazza commented on KAFKA-1506:
-----------------------------------
As Guozhang noted, the "taking forever" may have been due to exceptions/errors
that cancel functionality (which may be very difficult to implement correctly)
won't necessarily fix. If reassignment is something that is not normally
expected to take an inordinate amount of time to complete, there probably is no
need for cancel functionality but just fixing the problems that are causing the
long time, i.e., checking the logs for any problems with Kafka or the user's
configuration causing the delay.

> I started a reassignment, and for some reason it just takes forever. However,
> it won¹t let me start another reassignment job while this one is running. So
> a tool to cancel a reassignment job is needed.
