Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1476:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the patch, [[email protected]]. I think it may be worth
trying to combine consumer related tooling into a single tool, much like the
topics tool. I can imagine it having a --groups and --offsets option. So,
--groups --list will list all groups and --groups --describe --group
<group-name> will describe the group. Similarly --offsets --group <group_name>
will list the offsets.

> It would be useful to have a way to get a list of consumer groups currently
> active via some tool/script that ships with kafka. This would be helpful so
> that the system tools can be explored more easily.
> For example, when running the ConsumerOffsetChecker, it requires a group
> option
> bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker --topic test --group
> ?
> But, when just getting started with kafka, using the console producer and
> consumer, it is not clear what value to use for the group option. If a list
> of consumer groups could be listed, then it would be clear what value to use.
