Is there a definitive way to check if a kafka broker is up and ready to accept connections. Can I check some end point etc ? This can also be used when rolling restarts are done. Currently I look at logs or run some smoke tests by publishing/consuming some messages. Just wanted to reach out to the community to check if there is some other way to do this.
This is also necessary to check if kafka has recovered from an uncleaned shutdown. Thanks, Pradeep
