Hi Jun,

That would definitely solve the issue. I guess it's just a matter of timing for 
0.8...

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

The main motivation for decommission is that one can let consumers drain 
messages from a broker before taking it out. In 0.8, we are adding intra 
cluster replication. So, a broker can be taken out anytime without affecting 
consumers. Do you still see a need for decommission then?

Thanks,

Jun
