Kafka ElectLeaders Response Wire Format v0 — Binary Protocol Layout

What is ElectLeaders?

Forces preferred leader elections or triggers unclean elections via kafka-leader-election.sh. Preferred election safely moves leadership back to the first replica; unclean election (type=1) risks data loss by electing an out-of-sync replica when no in-sync replica is available.
