Hi Ismael, Answers in-line:
1. Have you considered how progress would be reported?

All you can do at the moment is initiate a reassignment (with --execute), and later check whether the assignment is in the state you asked for (with --verify). I agree it would be nice to be able to track progress. This will be the first 'big' bit of work I've done on Kafka, so I would prefer to limit the scope of this KIP where possible. That said, I suppose it could be done by having receiving controllers publish their progress to ZooKeeper, and adding Protocol and AdminClient API for getting this information. If you're keen on this I can certainly modify the KIP to add this. Alternatively I could write a second KIP to add this ability. What other long running tasks are there for which we'd like the ability to report progress? If there are others it might be possible to come up with a common mechanism. > 2.
