I found this JIRA
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1656
Now, we have to use two commands to accomplish the goal - first add
partitions using TopicCommand and then reassign replicas using
ReassignPartitionsCommand. When we first add partitions, will it change the
assignment of replicas for existing partitions? This is what we would like
to avoid. Also, will there be any issues executing the second reassignment
command which will change the assignment again for the new partitions added?
