Mike Percy created KUDU-1720: -------------------------------- Summary: Expose ability to appoint a replica as leader via RPC Key: KUDU-1720 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1720 Project: Kudu Issue Type: Bug Components: consensus Reporter: Mike Percy
Today we have an internal API call in RaftConsensus called EmulateElection() that causes a node to increment its term and begin acting as Raft leader without initiating an election. Exposing this would allow us to use this in emergency scenarios, where all replicas except one are offline and we need to force a node to become leader in order to then force an unsafe configuration change to be serialized to the WAL. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
