I’m working on packaging 0.8.2.1 for Wikimedia, and in doing so I’ve noticed that kafka.admin.ShutdownBroker doesn’t exist anymore. From what I can tell, this has been intentionally removed in favor of a JMX(?) config “controlled.shutdown.enable”. It is unclear from the documentation how one is supposed to set this for a running broker. Do I need a special JMX tool in order to flick this switch? I’d like to add a command to my kafka bin wrapper script so that I can easily use this when restarting brokers.
What is the proper way to set controlled.shutdown.enable? Thanks! -Andrew Otto
