Description

Currently, Kudu tablet leader step down cli command does not provide a flag to explicitly mention current leader uuid.

This bug is to track the changes to add such an option.

The flag can be used in a case where master config is out of sync and instead of relying on leader information on master, user wants to input leader uuid explicitly and transfer the leadership from there to another node.
