Hey Joe, This still seems pretty incomplete. It still has most the sections just containing the default text you are supposed to replace. It is really hard to understand what is being proposed and why and how much of the problem we are addressing. For example the motivation section just says "operational".
I'd really like us to do a good job of this. I actually think putting the time in to convey context really matters. For example I think (but can't really know) that what you are proposing is just a simple fix to the JSON output of the command line tool. But you can see that on the thread it is quickly going to spiral into automatic balancing, rack awareness, data movement throttling, etc. Just by giving people a fairly clear description of the change and how it fits into other efforts that could happen in the area really helps keep things focused on what you want. -Jay On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 10:11 PM, Joe Stein <joe.st...@stealth.ly> wrote: > Posted a KIP for --re-balance for partition assignment in reassignment > tool. > > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-6+-+New+reassignment+partition+logic+for+re-balancing > > JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1792 > > While going through the KIP I thought of one thing from the JIRA that we > should change.
