Joe Stein updated KAFKA-1694:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
There are a lot of different kafka tools.  Right now I think 5-6 of them are 
being used commonly.

I was thinking we could start by taking 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/System+Tools and 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Replication+tools and 
exposing them in a plugin type way for a command line shell interface.

It would be both: command line and shell.

so 

kafka -b brokerlist -a reasign-partition status

would run from the cli and

kafka shell -b brokerlist
kafka>describe;
... kafka-topics.sh --describe
kafka>set topic_security['pci','profile','dss'] = true
...etc

An important item is that folks that are using existing tools we should have an 
easy api type way so they can keep doing that and get benefit too.

This interface should also have some monitoring stats too, e.g visualize in 
text the consumer lag trending between offset committed and log end offset.

kafka>use topic name;
kafka>stats;
....
