Understanding the Rebalance Actions

Each action occurs on a single partition.

Action

Definition

COPY PARTITION

Copies a partition and sets up replication to keep the copy in sync.

PROMOTE PARTITION [WITH {DROP,REPOINT}]

Promotes a replica partition into a master partition. The WITH DROP clause drops the previous master partition. The WITH REPOINT clause converts the previous master partition into a replica partition. There is no default, rebalance chooses one or the other based on the path to get to a balanced set of partitions.

DROP PARTITION

Drops a partition.
