             Summary: Do not prevent automatic preferred election when reassignment in progress
                 Key: KAFKA-10149
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10149
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jason Gustafson


Currently the controller will not do preferred leader elections automatically when a reassignment is in progress. If a broker crashes or is restarted with a reassignment in progress, this leaves the leadership massively skewed until the reassignment completes. I am not sure if there is a good reason for this, but it seems not ideal.
