Hello,

We are currently running a kafka 0.8-beta cluster. We are planning to expand 
the existing cluster and use 0.8.1 version on the new nodes.  Before upgrading 
the older ones we want the new ones to participate in the cluster. We plan to 
use "reassign-partitions" tool in 0.8.1 to reassign partitions to the newly 
added brokers. We will also add additional partitions to the existing topics. 
Is there a best practice to go about expanding clusters? Is this the 
recommended way to go or should we upgrade our existing cluster to 0.8.1 first?
I also noticed that there are some fixes on top of 0.8.1. Are they available to 
use?

Thanks,
