Dmitry Pekar commented on KAFKA-1753: ------------------------------------- [~gwenshap] [~nehanarkhede] [~charmalloc] I was playing with my initial implementation of --replace-broker command and found that it could be easily generalized to support "delete broker" scenario without introducing additional UX complexity. IMHO, it should be easy for a user to understand that to delete broker X he should replace broker X with some broker Y from the cluster (because the cluster should preserve all partition replicas located previously on broker X). So --replace-broker command would cover --decommission-broker scenario. What do you think about dropping --decommission-broker in favor of --replace-broker? > add --decommission-broker option > -------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1753 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1753 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: tools > Reporter: Dmitry Pekar > Assignee: Dmitry Pekar > Fix For: 0.8.3 > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
