Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1476:
----------------------------------
Cool, so [~balaji.seshadri] would you be willing to revamp this a bit? Two
approaches:
1. Just change the class name to ConsumerCommand and shell script to
kafka-consumers.sh even though it only implements the list groups functionality
at the moment. We can file a follow-up bug to implement some of the additional
features which anyone can pick up.
2. Implement some of the proposed features now on this ticket. Most of them
should be pretty straight-forward...
Either way is fine.
> Get a list of consumer groups

> It would be useful to have a way to get a list of consumer groups currently
> active via some tool/script that ships with kafka. This would be helpful so
> that the system tools can be explored more easily.
> For example, when running the ConsumerOffsetChecker, it requires a group
> option
> bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker --topic test --group
> ?
> But, when just getting started with kafka, using the console producer and
> consumer, it is not clear what value to use for the group option. If a list
> of consumer groups could be listed, then it would be clear what value to use.
