---------------------------------
Summary: Add --checkpoint option to kafka-metadata-shell and
deprecate --snapshot
Key: KAFKA-20668
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20668
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: tony tang
The kafka-metadata-shell tool exposes a option --snapshot to point at the file
to read. The flag name is misleading: the metadata snapshot use the .checkpoint
suffix, while kafka also has .snapshot files in every log directory which are
producer snapshots. This leads users to pass the wrong file.
Propose adding a --checkpoint option and deprecating --snapshot (keeping it as
an alias for backward compatibility, with removal targeted for 5.0).
