Andy Bryant commented on KAFKA-5235:
------------------------------------
Looking forward to this KIP being implemented. We currently can't use
GetOffsetShell as it stands with our cluster as is uses SSL authentication (see
KAFKA-7373). Having consistent parameter values will be a welcome change too.
> GetOffsetShell: retrieve offsets for all given topics and partitions with
> single request to the broker

> GetOffsetShell is implemented on old SimpleConsumer. It needs Zookeeper to
> retrieve metadata about topics and partitions. At present, GetOffsetShell
> does the following:
> - get metadata from Zookeeper
> - iterate over partitions
> - for each partition, connect to its leader broker and request offsets
> Instead, GetOffsetShell can use new KafkaConsumer and retrieve offsets by
> means of endOffsets(), beginningOffsets() and offsetsForTimes() methods. One
> request is sufficient for all topics and partitions.
> As far as GetOffsetShell is re-implemented with new KafkaConsumer API, it
> will not depend on obsolete API: SimpleConsumer, old producer API.
