Feature: support partition reassignment

[ftardif]

The only feature still missing to completely replace https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager with KafkaHQ would be to have the ability to manage partition reassignment between brokers.

do you plan to add this feature in kafkaHQ?

thanks again for your great tool!

It's in the plan 😁 But fight against the time 😁
To be honest, I can't give a release time for this feature, I don't even know how I will do it.

I guess it might be best to wait for kafka broker 2.2 to have the support on AdminClient rather than ZK:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-179+-+Change+ReassignPartitionsCommand+to+use+AdminClient

however, from a kafkaHQ perspective, it could be odd to provide a UI functionality only working for setup configured ton Kafka 2.2+.

Thanks for the information, I'm not aware of this KIP.

I think I will wait for it.
I really don't want to talk to zookeeper since it will be removed in a future from Kafka.
Also all saas product don't expose zookeeper, it will be a feature for self hosted only Kafka.

Hi @tchiotludo, first of all thanks for the amazing tool!

Is this feature on the roadmap at any time in the future?

[tchiotludo]

Seems that it was addressed here since Kafka 2.4.
There is no need to have zookeeper as I understand, so it's seems to be implementable.

PR are welcome, must be an easy one as I see

Is there any update on roadmap for this feature?

[tchiotludo]

Seems that the feature is implemented in Kafka API now, PR are more than welcome!
