> Key: KAFKA-2633
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2633
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Grant Henke
>
> Currently the default logging for tool is stdout, this can make parsing the
> output difficult in cases where exceptions are thrown, or even when expected
> logging messages are output. The most affected tool is the console-consumer
> but others will have this issue as well.
> Changing the output to stderr by default allows the user to redirect the
> output to a log file without effecting the tools output.
> Note: Users can change the logging settings by setting $KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS to
> use the configuration of their choice. This Jira is to change the default to
> be more user friendly
