Neha Narkhede commented on KAFKA-1476: -------------------------------------- Thanks for attaching the output, [~onurkaraman]. Here are some review comments- 1. The error stack trace for describing groups that don't exist is pretty ugly, so let's remove that and output a message that states the group doesn't exist {code} vagrant@worker1:/opt/kafka$ bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper 192.168.50.11:2181 --describe --group g3 Error while executing consumer group command org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NoNodeException: KeeperErrorCode = NoNode for /consumers/g3/owners org.I0Itec.zkclient.exception.ZkNoNodeException: org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NoNodeException: KeeperErrorCode = NoNode for /consumers/g3/owners at org.I0Itec.zkclient.exception.ZkException.create(ZkException.java:47) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient.retryUntilConnected(ZkClient.java:685) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient.getChildren(ZkClient.java:413) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient.getChildren(ZkClient.java:409) at kafka.utils.ZkUtils$.getTopicsByConsumerGroup(ZkUtils.scala:758) at kafka.admin.ConsumerGroupCommand$.describe(ConsumerGroupCommand.scala:81) at kafka.admin.ConsumerGroupCommand$.main(ConsumerGroupCommand.scala:56) at kafka.admin.ConsumerGroupCommand.main(ConsumerGroupCommand.scala) Caused by: org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NoNodeException: KeeperErrorCode = NoNode for /consumers/g3/owners at org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException.create(KeeperException.java:111) at org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException.create(KeeperException.java:51) at org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.getChildren(ZooKeeper.java:1472) at org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.getChildren(ZooKeeper.java:1500) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkConnection.getChildren(ZkConnection.java:99) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient$2.call(ZkClient.java:416) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient$2.call(ZkClient.java:413) at org.I0Itec.zkclient.ZkClient.retryUntilConnected(ZkClient.java:675) ... 6 more {code} 2. I'm not sure why the header fields are not comma separated but the data is. It will be best to stick to one separator only. So if you pick , as the separator, then the output should change to {code} GROUP, TOPIC, PID, CURRENT, OFFSET, LOG SIZE, LAG, OWNER g2, t2, 0, 1, 1, 0, none {code} 3. For deleting only a specific topic's information, it is sufficient to rely on the user specifying the --topic along with --delete. The --delete-with-topic option seems unnecessary. > Get a list of consumer groups > ----------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1476 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1476 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Wish > Components: tools > Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1 > Reporter: Ryan Williams > Assignee: Balaji Seshadri > Labels: newbie > Fix For: 0.9.0 > > Attachments: ConsumerCommand.scala, KAFKA-1476-LIST-GROUPS.patch, > KAFKA-1476-RENAME.patch, KAFKA-1476-REVIEW-COMMENTS.patch, KAFKA-1476.patch, > KAFKA-1476.patch, KAFKA-1476.patch, KAFKA-1476.patch, > KAFKA-1476_2014-11-10_11:58:26.patch, KAFKA-1476_2014-11-10_12:04:01.patch, > KAFKA-1476_2014-11-10_12:06:35.patch, KAFKA-1476_2014-12-05_12:00:12.patch, > KAFKA-1476_2015-01-12_16:22:26.patch, KAFKA-1476_2015-01-12_16:31:20.patch, > KAFKA-1476_2015-01-13_10:36:18.patch, KAFKA-1476_2015-01-15_14:30:04.patch, > sample-kafka-consumer-groups-sh-output.txt > > > It would be useful to have a way to get a list of consumer groups currently > active via some tool/script that ships with kafka.
