/**
 * The striped replica placer.
 *
 *
 * GOALS
 * The design of this placer attempts to satisfy a few competing goals.  Firstly, we want
 * to spread the replicas as evenly as we can across racks.  In the simple case where
 * broker racks have not been configured, this goal is a no-op, of course.  But it is the
 * highest priority goal in multi-rack clusters.
 *
 * Our second goal is to spread the replicas evenly across brokers.  Since we are placing
 * multiple partitions, we try to avoid putting each partition on the same set of
 * replicas, even if it does satisfy the rack placement goal.  If any specific broker is
 * fenced, we would like the new leaders to distributed evenly across the remaining
 * brokers.
 *
 * However, we treat the rack placement goal as higher priority than this goal-- if you
 * configure 10 brokers in rack A and B, and 1 broker in rack C, you will end up with a
 * lot of partitions on that one broker in rack C.  If you were to place a lot of
 * partitions with replication factor 3, each partition would try to get a replica there.
 * In general racks are supposed to be about the same size -- if they aren't, this is a
 * user error.
 *
 * Finally, we would prefer to place replicas on unfenced brokers, rather than on fenced
 * brokers.
 *
 *
 * CONSTRAINTS
 * In addition to these goals, we have two constraints.  Unlike the goals, these are not
 * optional -- they are mandatory.  Placement will fail if a constraint cannot be
 * satisfied.  The first constraint is that we can't place more than one replica on the
 * same broker.  This imposes an upper limit on replication factor-- for example, a 3-node
 * cluster can't have any topics with replication factor 4.  This constraint comes from
 * Kafka's internal design.
 *
 * The second constraint is that the leader of each partition must be an unfenced broker.
 * This constraint is a bit arbitrary.  In theory, we could allow people to create
 * new topics even if every broker were fenced.  However, this would be confusing for
 * users.
 *
 *
 * ALGORITHM
 * The StripedReplicaPlacer constructor loads the broker data into rack objects.  Each
 * rack object contains a sorted list of fenced brokers, and a separate sorted list of
 * unfenced brokers.  The racks themselves are organized into a sorted list, stored inside
 * the top-level RackList object.
 *
 * The general idea is that we place replicas on to racks in a round-robin fashion.  So if
 * we had racks A, B, C, and D, and we were creating a new partition with replication
 * factor 3, our first replica might come from A, our second from B, and our third from C.
 * Of course our placement would not be very fair if we always started with rack A.
 * Therefore, we generate a random starting offset when the RackList is created.  So one
 * time we might go B, C, D.  Another time we might go C, D, A.  And so forth.
 *
 * Note that each partition we generate advances the starting offset by one.
 * So in our 4-rack cluster, with 3 partitions, we might choose these racks:
 *
 * partition 1: A, B, C
 * partition 2: B, C, A
 * partition 3: C, A, B
 *
 * This is what generates the characteristic "striped" pattern of this placer.
 *
 * So far I haven't said anything about how we choose a replica from within a rack.  In
 * fact, this is also done in a round-robin fashion.  So if rack A had replica A0, A1, A2,
 * and A3, we might return A0 the first time, A1, the second, A2 the third, and so on.
 * Just like with the racks, we add a random starting offset to mix things up a bit.
 *
 * So let's say you had a cluster with racks A, B, and C, and each rack had 3 replicas,
 * for 9 nodes in total.
 * If all the offsets were 0, you'd get placements like this:
 *
 * partition 1: A0, B0, C0
 * partition 2: B1, C1, A1
 * partition 3: C2, A2, B2
 *
 * One additional complication with choosing a replica within a rack is that we want to
 * choose the unfenced replicas first.  In a big cluster with lots of nodes available,
 * we'd prefer not to place a new partition on a node that is fenced.  Therefore, we
 * actually maintain two lists, rather than the single list I described above.
 * We only start using the fenced node list when the unfenced node list is totally
 * exhausted.
 *
 * Furthermore, we cannot place the first replica (the leader) of a new partition on a
 * fenced replica.  Therefore, we have some special logic to ensure that this doesn't
 * happen.
