Dmitry Pekar commented on KAFKA-1753:
-------------------------------------
[~nehanarkhede] Suppose we have a cluster [0..4] and want to remove broker 2.
This could be archived, for instance, via:
--replace-broker 2 --broker-list 0,1,3,4
The implementation will read all topics/partitions, find those replicas that
are hosted on broker 2 and redistribute them +/- fairly across brokers 0,1,3,4
This approach (using --replace-broker with --broker-list vs using
--decommission-broker) gives us a wider applicability of the command. For
instance, scenarios such as "remove broker 2 and redistribute its replicas
between only broker 0 and 4" could be implemented using this approach.
> add --decommission-broker option
