> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14121
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Stanislav Kozlovski
> Assignee: Stanislav Kozlovski
> Priority: Minor
>
> Using Kafka's public APIs to get metadata regarding the non-reassigning
> replicas for a topic is unreliable and prone to race conditions.
> If a person or a system is to rely on the provided metadata, it can end up
> {color:#202124}unintentionally {color}increasing the replication factor for a
> partition.
> It would be useful to have some sort of guardrail against this happening
> {color:#202124}inadvertently.
> See
