Hello Jayesh, Thank you for the suggestion. I like the proposal and the new tool seems useful.
Do you already have the tool available in a github repository? If you don't, then this would be a good place to start - there are many Kafka utilities in github repositories (Yahoo's Kafka Manager as a famous example). This way users can evaluate the usefulness of the new tool before we include it in core-kafka.
