Hey Colin,

Can the ListPartitionReassignmentsResult include the status of the current 
reassignment progress of each partition? A reassignment can be in progress for 
different reasons and the status can give the option to alter the current 
reassignment.

Example -  A leaderISRRequest of a new assigned replicas can be ignored/errored 
because of a storage exception.  And reassignment batch will be waiting 
indefinitely for the new assigned replicas to be in sync with the leader of the 
partition.  
              Showing the status will give an option to alter the affected 
partitions and allow the batch to complete reassignment.

OAR = {1, 2, 3} and RAR = {4,5,6}

     AR                 leader/isr
    {1,2,3,4,5,6}            1/{1,2,3,4,6}       =>  LeaderISRRequest was 
lost/skipped for 5 and the reassignment operation will be waiting indefinitely 
for the 5 to be insync.



Thanks,
Koushik

Reassignment

Hi, Colin,

First, since we are changing the format of LeaderAndIsrRequest, which is an 
inter broker request, it seems that we will need IBP during rolling upgrade. 
Could we add that to the compatibility section?

Regarding UnsupportedVersionException, even without ZK node version bump, we 
probably want to only use the new ZK value fields after all brokers have been 
upgraded to the new binary. Otherwise, the reassignment task may not be 
completed if the controller changes to a broker still on the old binary.
IBP is one way to achieve that. The main thing is that we need some way for the 
controller to deal with the new ZK fields. Dealing with the additional ZK node 
version bump seems a small thing on top of that?

Thanks,

Jun
