Paolo Patierno created KAFKA-5588: ------------------------------------- Summary: ConsumerConsole : uselss --new-consumer option Key: KAFKA-5588 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5588 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Paolo Patierno Assignee: Paolo Patierno Priority: Minor
Hi, it seems to me that the --new-consumer option on the ConsoleConsumer is useless. The useOldConsumer var is related to specify --zookeeper on the command line but then the ----bootstrap-server option (or the --new-consumer) can't be used. If you use --bootstrap-server option then the new consumer is used automatically so no need for --new-consumer. It turns out the using the old or new consumer is just related on using --zookeeper or --bootstrap-server option (which can't be used together, so I can't use new consumer connecting to zookeeper). I'm going to remove the --new-consumer option from the tool. Thanks, Paolo. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
