Description

this will need a KIP

via jkreps in KIP-6 discussion about KAFKA-1694

The other information that would be really useful to get would be
information about partitions--how much data is in the partition, what are
the segment offsets, what is the log-end offset (i.e. last offset), what is
the compaction point, etc. I think that done right this would be the
successor to the very awkward OffsetRequest we have today.

This is not really blocking that ticket and could happen before/after and has a lot of other useful purposes and is important to get done so tracking it here in this JIRA.
