KIP-642 — Dynamic quorum reassignment
Discarded KRaft
Rejected KIP proposing dynamic KRaft quorum reassignment via a new control record type, allowing voters to be added/removed without cluster downtime. Rejected in favor of a different approach (likely KIP-853 and related voter management KIPs) that better addressed the safety and protocol constraints of Raft quorum membership changes.
