JIRA: KAFKA-12899

Please keep the discussion on the mailing list rather than commenting on the wiki (wiki discussions get unwieldy fast).

Motivation

In KIP-499, we decided to unify the connection name flag for the bootstrap servers. However, ReplicaVerificationTool was omitted.

This KIP proposes to the deprecated broker-list command-line argument in ReplicaVerificationTool, with introducing bootstrap-server.

Public Interfaces

ReplicaVerificationTool will have the '--bootstrap-server' command-line argument added.

Proposed Changes

Add a new command-line argument, '--bootstrap-server', will be added to ReplicaVerificationTool, with the same functionality of traditional '--broker-list'.

Instead, '--broker-list' argument will be marked as deprecated.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

None.

Rejected Alternatives

None.
