> Key: KUDU-1720
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1720
> Project: Kudu
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: consensus
> Reporter: Mike Percy
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: NA
>
>
> 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.
