Cosmin Lehene created KAFKA-1566: ------------------------------------ Summary: Kafka environment configuration (kafka-env.sh) Key: KAFKA-1566 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1566 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: tools Reporter: Cosmin Lehene Assignee: Cosmin Lehene Fix For: 0.8.2, 0.9.0
It would be useful (especially for automated deployments) to have an environment configuration file that could be sourced from the launcher files (e.g. kafka-run-server.sh). This is how this could look like kafka-env.sh {code} export KAFKA_JVM_PERFORMANCE_OPTS="-XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -Djava.awt.headless=true \ -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:PermSize=48m -XX:MaxPermSize=48m -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=20 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=35' %>" export KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS="'-Xmx1G -Xms1G' %>" export KAFKA_LOG4J_OPTS="-Dkafka.logs.dir=/var/log/kafka" {code} kafka-server-start.sh {code} ... source $base_dir/config/kafka-env.sh ... {code} This approach is consistent with Hadoop and HBase. However the idea here is to be able to set these values in a single place without having to edit startup scripts. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
