Hi Arseniy, A few comments from me collected in points:
1. Usually the commands use "bootstrap-server" as in singular and not the plural "bootstrap-servers", so I suggest to keep this functionality. Otherwise their behavior is still the same. 2. kafka-get-offsets.sh --bootstrap-servers vm:9092 --topics AAA,ZZZ --partitions 0,1 I think that we could try out one of the "--topics AAA:0-3,ZZZ:1" or "--topic-partitions AAA:0-3,ZZZ:1" or "--tp AAA:0-3,ZZZ:1" notations so that asking for specific topic-partitions (or intervals as in AAA) is more concise. Perhaps we could enable using your originally proposed and one of these. What do you think? Also I would be interested in what others think about this notation. I'd find it useful as we often refer to partitions as "topic-partition" and this might strengthen this kind of thinking.
