The kafka-broker.sh command can be is modeled after the kafka-topic.sh and can have the following options:

--zookeeper <zookeeper,port> : zookeeper URL

--rack <list of comma-seperated racks>: filter details on brokers in the list of racks only

-- topic <list of comma-seperated topcis>: : filter details on brokers that serve partitions for the provided topic

has options as described later below.

 

Proposed Changes

The command will essentially provide the following pieces of information:

Cluster Overview Broker Information 

  • Cluster Id
  • Controller Broker Id (and version/epoch information)
  • Broker Count
  • Total Topic Count
  • Total Partition Count

Broker Information

 

  • Broker Id
  • Rack Id
  • Hostname
  • Endpoints (protocol, port)
  • JMX port
  • Topic count
  • All partition count
  • Leader partition count
  • Under-replicated partition count
  • Topic partitions (Name, *partition-)

An asterisk would indicate that the broker is the leader for that partition.
A hyphen/negative sign would indicates that the partition is not in-sync.

...

  • info
  • And for each broker 
  • Broker Id
  • Hostname
  • Rack
  • Endpoints
  • Topic count (i.e. how many topics are hosted by the broker)
  • All partition count (i.e. how many partition replicas are hosted by the broker)
  • Leader partition count (i.e. how many leader partitions are hosted by the broker)
  • Insync partition count (i.e, how many follower partitions are insync)
  • Trailing partition count (i.e. how many partitions are not insync)
  • When details are printed, A leader partition will be prefixed by a "+" symbol and a trailing partition will be prefixed by a "-" symbol

With command line options, topic names and partition numbers can be enumerated.

Command Options

The command kafka-brokers.sh requires zookeeper information and additional accepts other options as show below:

The options "–broker", "–host", "–rack" and "–topic" provide filtering for the specified broker (broker-id), host, rack or topic. Each of the options can be specified multiple times. The option "--topic-details" makes the command to enumerate all the topic names in addition to giving the topic count. The option "--partition-details" makes the command to enumerate all the partitions for each topic. The partitions have an an optional prefix of "+" or "-" to indicate that the partition is a leader partition or an under-replicated partition respectively. An insync replica partition will not have any prefix.

Here are examples usages of the command.
