Hi, Colin,

Thanks for the reply and the updated KIP. A few more comments below.

53. It seems that you already incorporated the changes in KIP-516. With
topic ids, we don't need to wait for the topic's data to be deleted before
removing the topic metadata. If the topic is recreated, we can still delete
the data properly based on the topic id. So, it seems that we can remove
TopicRecord.Deleting.

55. It seems to me that the current behavior where we favor the current
broker registration is better. This is because uncontrolled broker shutdown
is rare and its impact is less severe since one just needs to wait for the
session timeout before restarting the broker. If a mis-configured broker
replaces an existing broker, the consequence is more severe since it can
cause the leader to be unavailable, a replica to be out of ISR, and add
more load on the leaders etc.

60. controller.connect=0...@controller0.example.com:9093,
1...@controller1.example.com:9093,2...@controller2.example.com : Do we need to
include the controller id before @? It seems that the host/port is enough
for establishing the connection. It would also be useful to make it clear
that controller.connect replaces quorum.voters in KIP-595.

61. I am not sure that we need both controller.listeners and
controller.connect.security.protocol since the former implies the security
protocol. The reason that we have both inter.broker.listener.name and
inter.broker.security.protocol is because we had the latter first and later
realized that the former is more general.

62. I am still not sure that you need controller.listeners to be a list.
All listeners are already defined in listeners. To migrate from plaintext
to SSL, one can configure listeners to have both plaintext and SSL. After
that, one can just change controller.listeners from plaintext to SSL. This
is similar to how to change the listener for inter broker connections.
Also, controller.listener.name may be a more accurate name?

63. Regarding controller.id, I am trying to understand whether it's a
required configuration or an optional one. From the KIP, it sounds like
controller.id is optional. Then, if this is unset, it's not clear how the
user will obtain the controller id for setting controller.connect.

64. KIP-516 adds a flag in LeaderAndIsrRequest to indicate whether it
includes all partitions or not. This will be used to clean up strayed logs.
I was thinking how we will do the same thing once the controller moves to
Raft based. One way to do that is on broker startup, it gets the HWM in the
metadata log from the Raft leader and waits until its metadata catches up
to HWM. At that point, any local log not seen in the metadata can be
removed. Since the Fetch response returns the HWM, there seems to be enough
APIs to achieve this.
