Sorry, I missed that comment.

Good point. I think the log segments in topicPartition.move directory will
be subject to log truncation, log retention and log cleaning in the same
way as the log segments in the source log directory. I just specified this
inthe KIP.

I agree with your concern. My main concern is that it is a bit weird if
ChangeReplicaDirResponse can not guarantee success and the tool needs to
rely on DescribeDirResponse to see if it needs to send
ChangeReplicaDirRequest again.

How about this: If broker doesn't not have already replica created for the
specified topicParition when it receives ChangeReplicaDirRequest, it will
reply ReplicaNotAvailableException AND remember (replica, destination log
directory) pair in memory to create the replica in the specified log
directory.

No. --throttle will be used to only to set leader.follower.replication as
it does now. I think we do not need any option in the
kafka-reassignment-partitions.sh to specify intra.broker.throttled.rate.
User canset it in broker config or dynamically using kafka-config.sh. Does
this sound OK?

Yes the tool could filter on the client side. But the purpose of having
this field is to reduce response side in case broker has a lot of topics.
The both fields are used as filter and the result is intersection. Do you
think this semantic is confusing or counter-intuitive?

If the throughput of moving data across dir doesn't not increase with
number of threads, I think we should provide config
num.replica.move.thread.per.log.dir and give it default value of 1. That
works in the same way as num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir. But I think the
replica movement is not necessarily IO bound if broker is using SSD. Thus
it seems more reasonable to have config num.replica.move.threads that is
shared across all log directories.

Currently all Kafka configs, including num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir,
defaults to a constant value instead of relying on values of configs. This
it will be a bit weird if the config name itself is not per log dir but its
default value is per dir. And it will also make both code and user
documentation a bit more complicated because currently all configs,
including num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir, defaults to a constant value.
The advantage of using a magic value is simplicity. To answer your
question, I think 3 ReplicaMoveThreads can work with more than 2 log
directories. Say there are 3 ReplicaMoveThreads and 4 log directories, each
ReplicaMoveThread will check if there is any replica waiting for movement,
finish movement of this replica, and check again. Is there any concern with
this approach?

I have chosen the magic value 3 because current default number of network
threads is 3. We can also set it to 8 which is the default number of io
threads. Would there be any performance concern with using 8 threads by
default?

As of current KIP user can cancel movement across log directories by first
sending DescribeDirsRequest, figure out the source directory of those
replicas that are being moved, and then send ChangeReplicaDirRequest to
move replica to the source log directory. But "any" seems like an easier
and reasonable approach to cancel replica movement. I just added it to the
KIP.
