Apache Karaf has been doing this for quite a few years, albeit in Java
not Scala. Still, their coding approach to creating a CLI probably
captures many lessons learned over that time.

Hi, I have been thinking about the ease of use for operations with Kafka.
We have lots of tools doing a lot of different things and they are all kind
of in different places.
So, what I was thinking is to have a single interface for our tooling
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1694
This would manifest itself in two ways 1) a command line interface 2) a repl
We would have one entry point centrally for all Kafka commands.
kafka <CMD> <ARGS>
kafka createTopic --brokerList etc,
kafka reassignPartition --brokerList etc,
or execute and run the shell
kafka --brokerList localhost
kafka>use topicName;
kafka>set acl='label';
I was thinking that all calls would be initialized through --brokerList and
the broker can tell the KafkaCommandTool what server to connect to for
MetaData.
Thoughts? Tomatoes?
