--------------------------------------
Summary: reassign-partitions to check if broker of ID exists in
cluster
Key: KAFKA-5161
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5161
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1
Environment: Debian 8
Reporter: Lawrence Weikum
Priority: Minor
A topic was created with only one replica. We wanted to increase it later to 3
replicas. A JSON file was created, but the IDs for the brokers were incorrect
and not part of the system.
The script or the brokers receiving the reassignment command should first check
if the new IDs exist in the cluster first and then continue, throwing an error
to the user if there is one that doesn't.
The current effect of assign partitions to non-existant brokers is a stuck
replication assignment with no way to stop it.
