Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1752:
--------------------------------------
bq. So it looks like we actually want --add-broker (and transfer some load to
it) and --decommission-broker (and transfer its load somewhere)?
Right.
[~Dmitry Pekar] We would like to avoid adding more and more nuanced options to
the partition reassignment tool that is already too complex. I would suggest
taking a step back and arriving at a few simple options that would cover all
use cases. I think that all we need is a way for users to add and decommission
brokers and the user's expectation would be that the tool comes up with a
correct assignment that leads to roughly even distribution of partitions as per
our replica placement strategy.
