Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-763:
-------------------------------
Thanks for patch v3. Looks good. However, I overlooked one thing in my previous
review. Could you patch ConsumerFetcherThread.handleOffsetOutOfRange() to use
SimpleConsumer.earliestOrLatestOffset() too?
> Add an option to replica from the largest offset during unclean leader
> election

> If there is an unclean leader election, a follower may have an offset out of
> the range of the leader. Currently, the follower will delete all its data and
> refetch from the smallest offset of the leader. It would be useful to add an
> option to let the follower refetch from the largest offset of the leader
> since refetching from the smallest offset may take some time.
