----------------------------------
Assignee: Oneby Wang
> Add --checkpoint option to kafka-metadata-shell and deprecate --snapshot
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-20668
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20668
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: tony tang
> Assignee: Oneby Wang
> Priority: Major
>
> 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).
