kafka-configs

In an environment managed by Cloudera Manager the kafka-configs tool can be used to set, describe, or delete topic properties.

Setting topic properties

You can set a topic property using the --alter option together with the --add-config option. For example:

kafka-configs --bootstrap-server [HOST:PORT] --entity-type topics --entity-name [TOPIC] --alter --add-config [PROPERTY NAME]=[VALUE]

Describing topic properties

You can list the configuration properties of a topic with the --describe option. For example:

kafka-configs --bootstrap-server [HOST:PORT] --entity-type topics --entity-name [TOPIC] --describe

Deleting topic properties

You can delete a topic property using the --alter option together with the --delete-config option. For example:

kafka-configs --bootstrap-server [HOST:PORT] --entity-type topics --entity-name [TOPIC] --alter --delete-config [PROPERTY_NAME]
