Ran into a situation where both the leader and replica nodes for a few
partitions of a given topic went down. So now these partitions have no in-sync
replicas and neither any leader (leader set to -1).
I tried to reassign these partitions to a different set of brokers using
partition reassignment tool and then running the preferred replica. However I
don't see the partitions getting reassigned and the leader still value still
remains "-1" for these.
What do I need to get this working.
Kafka cluster is on 0.8.1.1
