Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-180:
-------------------------------
SimpleConsumeShell is still useful for debugging purpose. I'd like to keep the
code. The script can go.

> Key: KAFKA-180
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-180
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
> Assignee: Jay Kreps
>
> Currently it is a bit of a mess:
> jkreps-mn:kafka-git jkreps$ ls bin
> kafka-console-consumer-log4j.properties kafka-producer-perf-test.sh
> kafka-server-stop.sh zookeeper-server-stop.sh
> kafka-console-consumer.sh kafka-producer-shell.sh
> kafka-simple-consumer-perf-test.sh zookeeper-shell.sh
> kafka-console-producer.sh kafka-replay-log-producer.sh
> kafka-simple-consumer-shell.sh
> kafka-consumer-perf-test.sh kafka-run-class.sh
> run-rat.sh
> kafka-consumer-shell.sh kafka-server-start.sh
> zookeeper-server-start.sh
> I think all the *-shell.sh scripts and all the *-simple-perf-test.sh scripts
> should die. If anyone has a use for these test classes we can keep them
> around and use the via kafka-run-class, but they are clearly not made for
> normal people to use. The *-shell.sh scripts are obsolete now that we have
> the *-console-*.sh scripts, since these do everything the old scripts did and
> more. I recommend we also delete the code for these.
> I would like to change each tool so that it produces a usage line explaining
> what it does when run without arguments. Currently I actually had to go read
> the code to figure out what some of these are.
> I would like to clean up places where the arguments are non-standard.
> Argument names should be the same across all the tools.
> I would also like to rename kafka-replay-log-producer.sh to
> kafka-copy-topic.sh. I think this tool should also accept two zookeeper urls,
> the url of the input cluster and the url of the output cluster so this tool
> can be used to copy between clusters. I think we can have a --zookeeper a
> --input-zookeeper and a --output-zookeeper where --zookeeper is equivalent to
> setting both the input and the output zookeeper. Also confused why the
> options for this list --brokerinfo which can be either a zk url or brokerlist
> AND also --zookeeper which must be a zk url.
> Any objections to all this? Any other gripes people have while I am in there?
