Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1291:
----------------------------------
Hey [~sgeller] this is great! I updated this patch a bit:
1. I removed the shell script for a couple of tools that seemed kind of
esoteric and seemed more likely to add confusion.
2. I made all commands print a one-line explanation of what they do when run
without arguments. Let me know if you think this description seems reasonable.
3. I refactored a little bit of the cut-and-paste in our command line args
definition.
This should be an easy patch to review as most changes are trivial.

> It is nice to have a proper command for the important tools just to help with
> discoverability. I noticed that mirror maker doesn't have such a wrapper.
> Neither does consumer offset checker. It would be good to do an audit and
> think of any tools that should have a wrapper that don't.
