Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3571: ------------------------------------ I think KIP-4 may be a better way to do this. > Traits for utilities like ConsumerGroupCommand > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3571 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3571 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: clients > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1 > Reporter: Greg Zoller > Priority: Minor > > I notice that several utilities like ConsumerGroupCommand are implemented > (hard-wired really) to be command-line utilities. It'd be really handy for > testing if these were broken out as Scala traits (that don't call println) > with the concrete classes or objects being the command-line utility. > As a trait I could create a thin wrapper class passing the same array of > arguments, and instead of producing screen output the trait could produce > result classes. > The command-line utilities (your concrete classes implementing the traits) > could format screen output from the result classes. > Why do this? It'd be a really nice way for test code to query things like > offsets and such after a test run. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
