Unsupported command line tools

Kafka command line tools not supported by Cloudera.

The following tools can be found as part of the Kafka distribution, but their use is generally discouraged for various reasons as documented here.


Tool	Notes
`connect-distributed` `connect-standalone`	Kafka Connect is currently not supported.
kafka-acls	Cloudera recommends using Sentry to manage ACLs instead of this tool.
kafka-broker-api-versions	Primarily useful for Client-to-Broker protocol related development.
kafka-configs	Use Cloudera Manager to adjust any broker or security properties instead of the `kafka‑configs` tool. This tool should only be used to modify topic properties.
kafka-delete-records	Do not use with CDH.
kafka-mirror-maker	Use Cloudera Manager to create any CDH Mirror Maker instance.
kafka-preferred-replica-election	This tool causes leadership for each partition to be transferred back to the 'preferred replica'. It can be used to balance leadership among the servers. It is recommended to use `kafka-reassign-partitions` instead of `kafka-preferred-replica-election`.
kafka-replay-log-producer	Can be used to “rename” a topic.
kafka-replica-verification	Validates that all replicas for a set of topics have the same data. This tool is a “heavy duty” version of the ISR column of `kafka-topics` tool.
kafka-server-start kafka-server-stop	Use Cloudera Manager to manage any Kafka host.
kafka-simple-consumer-shell	Deprecated in Apache Kafka.
kafka-streams-application-reset	Kafka Streams is currently not supported.
kafka-verifiable-consumer `kafka-verifiable-producer`	These scripts are intended for system testing.
zookeeper-server-start zookeeper-server-stop	Use Cloudera Manager to manage any Zookeeper host.
zookeeper-shell	Limit usage of this script to reading information from Zookeeper.
