Alex Gray created KAFKA-1234: -------------------------------- Summary: All kafka-run-class.sh to source in user config file (to set env vars like KAFKA_OPTS) Key: KAFKA-1234 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1234 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: config Affects Versions: 0.8.0 Reporter: Alex Gray Priority: Trivial
We are using the distributed version of kafka: http://apache.mirrors.lucidnetworks.net/kafka/0.8.0/kafka_2.8.0-0.8.0.tar.gz And we would like to set some environment variables, particularly KAFKA_OPTS when the kafka service starts. In other words, when someone does a "sudo service kafka start" we would like to set some environment variables. We cannot do this *without* modifying either /etc/init.d/kafka or bin/kafka-run-class.sh, and we don't want to modify files that we don't own. The solution is to have kafka source in a user specific file that may have these environment variables set. I'm attaching the patch file to show you what I mean. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
