Viktor Somogyi-Vass commented on KAFKA-6393: -------------------------------------------- Hey Jason, if you don't mind I'll pick this up and write a KIP. As I see most of the API calls are available. I've been also thinking to do a rolling restart admin client call which tells the controller to restart the brokers and then itself so we'll avoid unnecessary reelections. Do you think it's a good idea? Are there anything else that we should add? > Add tool to view active brokers > ------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-6393 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6393 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: tools > Reporter: Jason Gustafson > Priority: Major > Labels: needs-kip > > It would be helpful to have a tool to view the active brokers in the cluster. > For example, it could include the following: > 1. Broker id and version (maybe detected through ApiVersions request) > 2. Broker listener information > 3. Whether broker is online > 4. Which broker is the active controller > 5. Maybe some key configs (e.g. inter-broker version and message format > version) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
