Support kafka executables without shell extension?

Open simplesteph opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

Is it possible to have the kafka-tools support kafka-reassign-partitions instead of kafka-reassign-partitions.sh ? For example, the confluent Kafka images do an apt-get install which go and places the shell scripts directly in the /usr/bin folder, but they don't have the .sh extension.

It'd be great if kafka-tools could support either.

Thoughts on this? I can try to do a PR but it might be messy

Regards, Stephane

Seems like a good idea. Perhaps we should have an env var for KAFKA_DIST_BIN that points to the prefix for the local installation of Kafka. If that variable isn't set, then it just tries a few common locations before giving up.
