The replica list that you specify can be used to increment/decrement the replication factor. http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#basic_ops_increase_replication_factor

Searching through this list, there was mention that the tool has yet to be developed. It doesn't seem possible still looking at the replication tools wiki, nor with yahoo's kafka manager. Thought I give this list another shot. Thank you, Robin
