Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1537:
----------------------------------
Wouldn't it be somewhat odd that you actually want to require N/N replicas to
acknowledge? It seems more likely that if you have replication factor 3 you
would want 2 acks, which we already support today. Otherwise you have no
fault-tolerance.
> add request.required.acks=-2 to require acks from all replicas

> Key: KAFKA-1537
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1537
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Jiang Wu
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current options for the producer parameter request.required.acks include
> 0, positive numbers and -1. -1 means the acks from replicas in ISR.
> In a stress test, it's found that, if request.required.acks=-1 and the leader
> is receiving at high speed, then the followers will fail out of ISR. In this
> case, request.required.acks=-1 is equivelant to request.required.acks=1
> because only the leader is in ISR.
> It would be desirable to add request.required.acks=-2 to require acks from
> all replicas.
