The tool gets the end offset of the log using getOffsetBefore and the
consumer offset from ZK. It then calculates the lag.
We do have a JMX for lag in ZookeeperConsumerConnector. The api is the
following, but you need to provide topic/brokerid/partitionid.
/**
* JMX interface for monitoring consumer
*/
trait ZookeeperConsumerConnectorMBean {
def getPartOwnerStats: String
def getConsumerGroup: String
def getOffsetLag(topic: String, brokerId: Int, partitionId: Int): Long
def getConsumedOffset(topic: String, brokerId: Int, partitionId: Int):
Long
def getLatestOffset(topic: String, brokerId: Int, partitionId: Int): Long
}
