Description

Currently the ReassignPartitionsCommand (used by kafka-reassign-partitions.sh) talks directly to ZooKeeper. It would be better to have it use the AdminClient API instead.

This would entail creating two new protocol APIs, one to initiate the request and another to request the status of an in-progress reassignment. As such this would require a KIP.

This touches on the work of KIP-166, but that proposes to use the ReassignPartitionsCommand API, so should not be affected so long as that API is maintained.
