Thanks Colin! Maybe we should mention that restarts are much faster when you have a lot of partitions: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7283
"We did experiments on a cluster with 15 brokers, each of which has ~3k segments (and there are 31.8k partitions with RF=3 which are evenly distributed across brokers; total bytes-in-rate is around 400 MBps). The results show that rolling bounce time reduces from 135 minutes to 55 minutes."
