Hey Jun,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I will use the separate thread pool to
move replica between log directories. I will let you know when the KIP has
been updated to use a separate thread pool.

Here is my response to your other questions:

1.3 My idea is that the ReplicaMoveThread that moves data should get the
lock before checking whether the replica in the destination log directory
has caught up. If the new replica has caught up, then the ReplicaMoveThread
should swaps the replica while it is still holding the lock. The
ReplicaFetcherThread or RequestHandlerThread will not be able to append
data to the replica in the source replica during this period because they
can not get the lock. Does this address the problem?

2.3 I get your point that we want to keep controller simpler. If admin tool
can send ChangeReplicaDirRequest to move data within a broker, then
controller probably doesn't even need to include log directory path in the
LeaderAndIsrRequest. How about this: controller will only deal with
reassignment across brokers as it does now. If user specified destination
replica for any disk, the admin tool will send ChangeReplicaDirRequest and
wait for response from broker to confirm that all replicas have been moved
to the destination log direcotry. The broker will put
ChangeReplicaDirRequset in a purgatory and respond either when the movement
is completed or when the request has timed-out.

4. I agree that we can expose these metrics via JMX. But I am not sure if
it can be obtained easily with good performance using either existing tools
or new script in kafka. I will ask SREs for their opinion.

Thanks,
Dong
