KIP-1062 — Introduce Pagination for some requests used by Admin API

Discussion AdminProtocol

Extends KIP-966's pagination pattern to additional admin protocol requests—OffsetFetchRequest and DescribeLogDirsRequest—by adding a max-partitions limit and a cursor field for continuation. On large clusters with thousands of partitions, these requests can return responses that exceed broker timeout limits, causing failures in admin operations.
