rpk cluster partitions unsafe-recover

Recover unsafely from partitions that have lost majority.

This command allows you to unsafely recover all data adversely affected by the loss of the nodes specified in the --from-nodes flag. This operation is unsafe because it allows you to bulk move all partitions that have lost majority when nodes are gone and irrecoverable; this may result in data loss.

You can perform a dry run and verify the partitions that will be recovered by using the --dry flag.

This operation is unsafe because it allows the forced leader election of the partitions that have lost majority when nodes are gone and irrecoverable; this may result in data loss.
