Is there a plan to build a ubiquitous web service API to manage the kafka cluster

2014-11-24 Thread hsy...@gmail.com
Hi guys,

Nowadays, all kafka administration work (add, tear down node, topic
management, throughput monitor) are done by various different tool talk to
brokers, zookeeper etc. Is there a plan for core team to build a central
universal server providing webservice API to do all the admin work?

Best,
Siyuan

That is written up here
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Command+Line+and+Related+Improvements

Initially there will be a client API for command line but since it works on
the wire protocol anyone can either wrap the API or go directly to the wire
protocol to implement it however they want.

Work for that has already gotten underway parent ticket
