By default, the /kafka path is used in ZooKeeper to store Kafka
related metadata. This path can be changed by configuring the ZooKeeper Root Kafka property.
Complete the following steps to change the Kafka ZooKeeper chroot on an already
existing service. You can also configure the ZooKeeper Root
property when adding a new Kafka service to a cluster. The property can be
configured on the Review Changes page when using the
Add a Service wizard.
Select the Kafka service.
Go to Configuration and find the ZooKeeper
Root property.
Add the path to use as a chroot environment for the Kafka cluster.
Cloudera recommends that you use /kafka.
Enter a Reason for change and click Save
Changes.
Restart the Kafka service.
The Kafka ZooKeeper chroot is configured. Kafka uses the configured path to store
its metadata in ZooKeeper.
