--------------------------------
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.
