tony tang updated KAFKA-20668:
------------------------------
Description:
The kafka-metadata-shell tool exposes a option --snapshot to point at the file
to read. The flag name is misleading: the metadata snapshot use the .checkpoint
suffix, while kafka also has .snapshot files in log directory which are
producer snapshots. This leads users to pass the wrong file.
Propose adding a --checkpoint option and deprecating --snapshot (keeping it as
an alias for backward compatibility).
