Summary: Offer a --version flag to print the kafka version Key: KAFKA-2061 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2061 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Andrew Pennebaker Priority: Minor As a newbie, I want kafka command line tools to offer a --version flag to print the kafka version, so that it's easier to work with the community to troubleshoot things. As a mitigation, users can query the package management system. But that's A) Not necessarily a newbie's first instinct and B) Not always possible when kafka is installed manually from tarballs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
