...

New implementation correctly handles non-existing topics and partitions asked by user:

kafka-get-offsets.sh --bootstrap-servers vm:9092 --topics AAA,ZZZ --partitions 0,1

AAA:0:7

AAA:1:Partition not found

ZZZ:0:Topic not found

Now user can get offsets for many topics at once. No need to retrieve the list of existing topics and then query them one by one.

Moreover, now user is able to retrieve offsets for all topics - this is the default when no topics specified.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

Any client tools depending on deprecated command-line arguments will continue working without changes. User will see on stderr warnings about deprecated arguments and pointers to new arguments.

Deprecated arguments can be removed in next minor Kafka release
