Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1778:
--------------------------------
[~anigam], for the two use cases that you mentioned, it seems that a simpler
approach is what Joe said. Just configure a couple of brokers to be eligible
for becoming the controller. Then, only those brokers will try to become the
controller. I am not sure what the use case is to have an admin command to
force the controller to move.
> Create new re-elect controller admin function
