Jay Kreps created KAFKA-1292:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Command-line tools should print what they do as part of 
their usage command
                 Key: KAFKA-1292
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1292
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jay Kreps


It would be nice if you could get an explanation for each tool by running the 
command with no arguments. Something like 
bin/kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh is a little scary so it would be nice 
to have it self-describe:
> bin/kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh
This command attempts to return leadership to the preferred replicas (if they 
are alive) from whomever is currently the leader).
Option                                  Description                            
------                                  -----------                            
--alter                                 Alter the configuration for the topic.
