Hi all, Jason, Colin and I discuss this KIP offline and decided to make the following changes.
1. Change the ElectLeadersRequest RPC so that only one election type can be specified and it applies to all of the topic partitions enumerated. We think that this makes the API easier to use when performing one type of election across multiple topic partitions. We think that it is rare that they user would like to perform different type of elections in the same command (or request). 2. Change the kafka-leader-election script so that it doesn't default to applying the election type to all of the topic partitions. For example previously "bin/kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh --bootstrap-server $host:$port" would attempt to perform preferred leader election to all of the partition. Instead now the user needs to run the following command "bin/kafka-leader-election.sh --bootstrap-server $host:@port --all-topic-partitions" The KIP has been updated to includes these changes.
