Andrey Stepachev commented on KAFKA-1530:
-----------------------------------------
Looks like [~ovgolovin] problem with wrong replica election can be fixed by
adding notion of min-replicas somewhere around that code
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/3c4ca854fd2da5e5fcecdaf0856a38a9ebe4763c/core/src/main/scala/kafka/cluster/Partition.scala#L165,
we can restrict leader election/reelection only for partitions which have
configured size of isr.
According to [~renew] situation, it is not realistic to loose data in situation
when leader is stopped and one of the replica will became the leader and _if_
acks required greater then 1. kafka maintains 'high watermark' for each
partition and for each request it waits for required replicas to catch up with
leader before responds to client. So if it is not a correlated failure (when we
loose 2 replicas at once) it will work correctly. If it was 2 replicas and 1
replica outside of isr, both in ISR die, then it is possible to bring up third
replica and new data in those replicas data will be lost.
Just to be sure, kafka is a 'primary backup' replication system, so in doesn't
tolerate correlated failures in oppose to quorum system. But gives high
throughput in return. That how in stands :)

> Hi,
>
> Could I ask you a question about the Kafka update procedure?
> Is there a way to update software, which doesn't require service interruption
> or lead to data losses?
> We can't stop message brokering during the update as we have a strict SLA.
