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.
