Colin McCabe resolved KAFKA-16370.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I don't think there are any plans to implement offline rollback currently.
After migrating a very large number of clusters, we haven't seen any need for
it. Keep in mind, you can simply stay in dual write mode until you're
comfortable.

> Key: KAFKA-16370
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16370
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: kaushik srinivas
> Priority: Major
>
> From the KIP,
> [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-866+ZooKeeper+to+KRaft+Migration,]
>
> h2. Finalizing the Migration
> Once the cluster has been fully upgraded to KRaft mode, the controller will
> still be running in migration mode and making dual writes to KRaft and ZK.
> Since the data in ZK is still consistent with that of the KRaft metadata log,
> it is still possible to revert back to ZK.
> *_The time that the cluster is running all KRaft brokers/controllers, but
> still running in migration mode, is effectively unbounded._*
> Once the operator has decided to commit to KRaft mode, the final step is to
> restart the controller quorum and take it out of migration mode by setting
> _zookeeper.metadata.migration.enable_ to "false" (or unsetting it). The
> active controller will only finalize the migration once it detects that all
> members of the quorum have signaled that they are finalizing the migration
> (again, using the tagged field in ApiVersionsResponse). Once the controller
> leaves migration mode, it will write a ZkMigrationStateRecord to the log and
> no longer perform writes to ZK. It will also disable its special handling of
> ZK RPCs.
> *At this point, the cluster is fully migrated and is running in KRaft mode. A
> rollback to ZK is still possible after finalizing the migration, but it must
> be done offline and it will cause metadata loss (which can also cause
> partition data loss).*
>
> Trying out the same in a kafka cluster which is migrated from zookeeper into
> kraft mode. We observe the rollback is possible by deleting the "/controller"
> node in the zookeeper before the rollback from kraft mode to zookeeper is
> done.
> The above snippet indicates that the rollback from kraft to zk after
> migration is finalized is still possible in offline method. Is there any
> already known steps to be done as part of this offline method of rollback ?
> From our experience, we currently know of the step "deletion of /controller
> node in zookeeper to force zookeper based brokers to be elected as new
> controller after the rollback is done". Are there any additional
> steps/actions apart from this ?
