Handling Leap second delay

Hi,

Can some of you share points on, the versions and handling leap second
delay on Dec 31, 2016.

Our method of handling the leap second (for everything, not just Kafka) is
to shut off the NTP servers that all the systems refer to before the leap
second, and turn it back on afterwards. The NTP server will then update
from a stratum 1 server and will eventually step the time correctly on all
the servers. It’s worked for the last couple without a problem.
