Kafka AlterPartition Response Wire Format v3 — Binary Protocol Layout

What is AlterPartition?

Brokers notify the KRaft controller of ISR changes through this API when a follower catches up (expansion) or falls behind (shrink). This replaced the ZooKeeper watcher-based ISR change path; in KRaft mode, all ISR changes flow here, making them serializable and auditable.
