-----------------------------------
Summary: Output generated by kafka_acls, kafka_topics.
kafka_topics should be easily usable in a pipe
Key: KAFKA-5923
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5923
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: tools
Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Holger Rauch
Priority: Minor
The output produced by {{kafka_topics}}, {{kafka_acls}}, and {{kafka_configs}}
(or rather, their corresponding, underlying classes) should be suitable for use
in a pipe (e.g. to be piped into {{grep}} when these commands are used in an
Ansible playbook/role).
AFAIK, the current implementations produce free form text. Using that inside a
grep can be error prone IMHO (especially in case the output should change from
one release to the next).
A more reliable approach would be to provide a cmd line switch to enable
machine parseable output suitable for use in pipes.
