nit: "replica" is the copy itself, i.e. the data, not the process doing the replication. Compare with "slave", which is the process not the data, so these terms aren't quite interchangeable. I think "follower" is more appropriate when talking about a process vs the data, as follower implies an agent of some sort (as does slave). Or maybe something like "replica process".
In a couple places you've substituted replica for slave, which I think changes the meaning slightly. [ Full content available at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5653 ] This message was relayed via gitbox.apache.org for [email protected]
