Paolo Patierno created KAFKA-5599:
-------------------------------------
Summary: ConsumerConsole : --new-consumer option as deprecated
Key: KAFKA-5599
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5599
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tools
Reporter: Paolo Patierno
Assignee: Paolo Patierno
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).
It's also clear when you use --zookeeper for the old consumer and the output
from help says :
"Consider using the new consumer by passing [bootstrap-server] instead of
[zookeeper]"
Before removing the --new-consumer option, this JIRA is for marking it as
deprecated in the next release (then moving for a new release on removing such
option).
Thanks,
Paolo.
