Hey Jun,

Thanks for the response! It seems that we have only two remaining issues.
Please see my reply below.

I think this is OK because the number of replicas that are being moved is
limited by the number of ReplicaMoveThread. The default number of
ReplicaMoveThread is the number of log directories, which mean we incur
these overhead for at most one replica per log directory at any time.
Suppose there are most than 100 replica in any log directory, the increase
in overhead is less than 1%.

Another way to look at this is that this is no worse than replica
reassignment. When we reassign replica from one broker to another, we will
double the overhread of log cleaning in the cluster for this replica. If we
are OK with this then we are OK with replica movement between log
directories.

ReplicaNotAvailableException is useful because the client can re-send
ChangeReplicaDirRequest (with backoff) after receiving
ReplicaNotAvailableException in the response. ChangeReplicaDirRequest will
only succeed after replica has been created for the specified partition in
the broker.

I think this is cleaner than asking reassignment tool to detect that
through DescribeDirsRequest and issue ChangeReplicaDirRequest again. Both
solution has the same chance of writing the data for the same replica
twice. In the original solution, the reassignment tool will keep retrying
ChangeReplicaDirRequest until success. In the second suggested solution,
the reassignment tool needs to send ChangeReplicaDirRequest, send
DescribeDirsRequest to verify result, and retry ChangeReplicaDirRequest and
DescribeDirsRequest again if the replica hasn't been created already. Thus
the second solution couples ChangeReplicaDirRequest with
DescribeDirsRequest and makes tool's logic is bit more complicated.

Besides, I am not sure I understand your suggestion for is_temporary field.
It seems that a replica can have only two states, i.e. normal it is being
used to serve fetch/produce requests and temporary if it is a replica is
that catching up with the normal one. If you think we should have
reassignment tool send DescribeDirsRequest before retrying
ChangeReplicaDirRequest, can you elaborate a bit what is the "pending"
state?

Sure. I have updated the wiki to specify this: "log_dirs and topics are
used to filter the results to include only the specified log_dir/topic. The
result is the intersection of both filters".
