Stevo Slavic commented on KAFKA-2106: ------------------------------------- This one is nice to have for 0.9.0.0 release. It's somewhat related to KAFKA-1792 and https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-6+-+New+reassignment+partition+logic+for+rebalancing > Partition balance tool between borkers > -------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2106 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2106 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: admin > Reporter: chenshangan > Fix For: 0.9.0.0 > > Attachments: KAFKA-2106.3, KAFKA-2106.patch, KAFKA-2106.patch.2 > > > The default partition assignment algorithm can work well in a static kafka > cluster(number of brokers seldom change). Actually, in production env, number > of brokers is always increasing according to the business data. When new > brokers added to the cluster, it's better to provide a tool that can help to > move existing data to new brokers. Currently, users need to choose topic or > partitions manually and use the Reassign Partitions Tool > (kafka-reassign-partitions.sh) to achieve the goal. It's a time-consuming > task when there's a lot of topics in the cluster. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
