Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1752:
--------------------------------------
[~Dmitry Pekar], It is true that we do not need to do anything special while
decommissioning brokers, but how do users specify that a broker needs to be
decommissioned? There needs to be a way to differentiate a temporarily failed
broker from a decommissioned one. Wouldn't the user use an admin tool to
specify that the broker is decommissioned which will then lead to us figuring
out an ideal partition reassignment and executing it until the decommissioned
broker owns nothing?
Or were you thinking about this differently?
> add --replace-broker option
