---------------------------------
Summary: Allow kafka-metadata-shell to read a running server
metadata
Key: KAFKA-16387
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16387
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: PoAn Yang
Assignee: PoAn Yang
Currently, kafka-metadata-shell tries to get the file lock before reading the
data, so it can't read running server metadata.
If users don't want to read the latest data, kafka-metadata-shell can provide
an option to copy the data to another place and only read the copied data. In
this case, kafka-metadata-shell can work without shutting down the server.
