As Lance mentioned, the best course of action in such a case (since version
0.8.X) is to keep the failed broker down, and bring up a new node (with the
same broker id as the failed broker), and it will automatically re-sync its
replicas (which may take some time). You don't want to try to reassign

Try clearing out /admin/reassign_partitions on your zookeeper.
Additionally, your best bet might be to bring up a new broker with the same
broker ID as your failed broker. It'll join the cluster and carry on,

metadata for that partition to a new server without needing the data,
