-------------------------------------
Summary: kafka-console-consumer.sh: Mismatch in CLI "usage" docs
vs. Scala Option parsing
Key: KAFKA-2157
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2157
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
Reporter: Thomas Vaughan
Priority: Minor
I built kafka-0.8.2.1 from source and noticed there's a mismatch between the
command line "usage" help and the actual arguments expected by the
ConsumerPerformace$ConsumerPerfConfig.class file.
On the command line if you run "bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh" with no
arguments it claims you need these required fields:
{code}
--broker-list <hostname:port,.., REQUIRED: broker info (the list of
hostname:port> broker host and port for bootstrap.
...
--topics <topic1,topic2..> REQUIRED: The comma separated list of
topics to produce to
{code}
Supplying that script with those flags will cause
joptsimple.OptionException.unrecognizedOption exceptions because what's really
needed are "\--zookeeper" and "\--topic" (singular, not plural) options.
