-----------------------------------------------
[[email protected]] this patch pending the 0.8.2 release. Since the we have
0.8.2 branched out I'll upmerge this patch and add a configurable option to
server.properties where if user prefers IP based broker Id we will generate
that or use the seq id that I currently have as a default.
[~jkreps] [~nehanarkhede] [~junrao] please let me know if the above approach
looks good to you. Thanks.

> It would be nice to have Kafka brokers auto-assign node ids rather than
> having that be a configuration. Having a configuration is irritating because
> (1) you have to generate a custom config for each broker and (2) even though
> it is in configuration, changing the node id can cause all kinds of bad
> things to happen.
