Network protocol

Request

Added a top level property called ElectionType with supported values of 0 and 1.

}

Response

Added a top level property called ErrorCode for returning errors that apply to all the topic partitions. The current implementation is using this to return cluster authorization errors.

AdminClient Abstract Class

A new method will be added to the AdminClient abstract class to support this new version of the RPC.

Code Block
languagejava
package org.apache.kafka.clients.admin;

public abstract class AdminClient ... {"name": "ErrorCode", "type": "int16", "versions": "1+", "ignorable": false,
    ...

  "about":  /**

     "type": "string", "versions": "0+", "nullableVersions": "0+",
       ElectLeadersOptions options);
}

TopicPartitionElection Class

Code Block
languagejava
package org.apache.kafka.common;

public final class TopicPartitionElection {
    public static enum ElectionType { "about": "The result message, or null if there was no error."}
        PREFERRED((byte) 0), UNCLEANED((byte) 1);

        public final byte value;

        ElectionType(byte value) {
            this.value = value;
        }
    }]}
    ]}
  ]
}

AdminClient Abstract Class

A new method will be added to the AdminClient abstract class to support this new version of the RPC.

When the partition parameter is null the controller will attempt the election type on all of partitions that are legible for election. This means that the RPC will only return success or failure on partition that eligible for election as oppose to all of the partitions in the cluster as the previous implemented behaved.

Code Block
languagejava
package org.apache.kafka.clients.admin;

public abstract class AdminClient ... {
    ...

    public/**
 final TopicPartition topicPartition;
  * ...
 public final ElectionType electionType;

 * @deprecated Since 2.4..
}

Admin Command

The command kafka-preferred-replica-election.{sh,bat} will be deprecated and the following command will be added.

Metrics

The following metrics were added:

  1. kafka.server:type=DelayedOperationPurgatory,name=NumDelayedOperations,delayedOperation=ElectLeader
  2. kafka.server:type=DelayedOperationPurgatory,name=PurgatorySize,delayedOperation=ElectLeader

While the following metrics were removed:

  1. kafka.server:type=DelayedOperationPurgatory,name=NumDelayedOperations,delayedOperation=ElectPreferredLeader
  2. kafka.server:type=DelayedOperationPurgatory,name=PurgatorySize,delayedOperation=ElectPreferredLeader

Proposed Changes

In addition to the protocol and client changes enumerated above, the Controller will be extended to allow unclean leader election requests to come from the admin client. Currently the controller only supports preferred leader election from the admin client. Unclean leader election can only be enabled through either a topic configuration change or a broker configuration change.

...

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

  1. The kafka-preferred-replica-elections.{sh,bat} scripts will be deprecated.
  2. The electPreferredLeaders method in AdminClient will be deprecated.
  3. The DelayedOperationPurgatory metrics ElectPreferredLeader were replaced with ElectLeader

Rejected Alternatives

Not applicable.
