             Summary: partition assignment would be better original_assignment 
+ new_reassignment during reassignments
                 Key: KAFKA-8663
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8663
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: controller, core
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0, 1.1.1
            Reporter: GEORGE LI


>From my observation/experience during reassignment,  the partition assignment 
>replica ordering gets changed.   because it's  OAR + RAR  (original replicas + 
>reassignment replicas)  set union. 

However, it seems like the preferred leaders changed during the reassignments.  
Normally if there is no cluster preferred leader election,  the leader is still 
the old leader.  But if during the reassignments, there is a leader election,  
the leadership changes.  This caused some side effects.  Let's look at this 
example.

{code}
Topic:georgeli_test     PartitionCount:8        ReplicationFactor:3     Configs:
        Topic: georgeli_test    Partition: 0    Leader: 1026    Replicas: 
1026,1028,1025        Isr: 1026,1028,1025
{code}

reassignment  (1026,1028,1025) => (1027,1025,1028)

{code}
Topic:georgeli_test     PartitionCount:8        ReplicationFactor:4     
Configs:leader.replication.throttled.replicas=0:1026,0:1028,0:1025,follower.replication.throttled.replicas=0:1027
        Topic: georgeli_test    Partition: 0    Leader: 1026    Replicas: 
1027,1025,1028,1026   Isr: 1026,1028,1025
{code}

Notice the above:   Leader remains 1026.   but Replicas: 1027,1025,1028,1026.   
If we run preferred leader election,  it will try 1027 first, then 1025.    
After  1027 is in ISR,  then the final assignment will be  (1027,1025,1028).    

My proposal for a minor improvement is to keep the original ordering replicas 
during the reassignment (could be long for big topic/partitions).  and after 
all replicas in ISR, then finally set the partition assignment to New 
reassignment.  

{code}
      val newAndOldReplicas = (reassignedPartitionContext.newReplicas ++ 
controllerContext.partitionReplicaAssignment(topicPartition)).toSet
      //1. Update AR in ZK with OAR + RAR.
      updateAssignedReplicasForPartition(topicPartition, 
newAndOldReplicas.toSeq)
{code} 

above code changed to below to keep the original ordering during reassignment: 

{code}
      val newAndOldReplicas = 
(controllerContext.partitionReplicaAssignment(topicPartition) ++ 
reassignedPartitionContext.newReplicas).toSet
{ code}
