rpk cluster partitions unsafe-recover

Recover unsafely from partitions that have lost majority.

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.

This command allows you to unsafely recover all data adversely affected by the loss of the nodes specified in the --from-nodes flag.

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