At Twilio we do this often, it is how we upgrade and deploy. We use partition reassignments tool to assign partitions off the old node and onto the new node. Hopefully, you are using an 0.10.X cluster, and have access to the replication limiter so the reassignment doesn't steal all the bandwidth on the host.
If you are not using 0.10.X, you should move as few partitions at a time. We used Kafka tools from linkedin prior to our upgrade to 0.10.X: https://github.com/linkedin/kafka-tools On Mon, Aug 21, 2017 at 2:18 PM M.
