KAFKA-1215: Rack-Aware replica assignment option
The PR tries to achieve the following:
- Make rack-aware assignment and rack data structure optional as opposed to
be part of the core data structure/protocol to ease the migration. The
implementation of that returns the map of broker to rack is pluggable. User
needs to pass the implementation class as a Kafka runtime configuration or
command line argument.
- The rack aware replica assignment is best effort when distributing the
replicas to racks. When there are more replicas than racks, it ensures each
rack has at least one replica. When there are more racks than replicas, it
ensures each rack has at most one replica. It also tries to keep the even
distribution of replicas among brokers and racks when possible.
