Node replacement does not require anything special - i.e., as long as it has the same broker id, just bringing it back into the cluster would suffice, and it should catch up on partitions that are assigned to it. Not sure what you mean by "increase a replica" - or you mean increase the number of replicas for a partition. That will require an admin tool - (see KAFKA-347).
