[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-1476) Get a list of consumer groups

Ryan Williams created KAFKA-1476:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Get a list of consumer groups
                 Key: KAFKA-1476
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1476
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: tools
    Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
            Reporter: Ryan Williams


It would be useful to have a way to get a list of consumer groups currently active via some tool/script that ships with kafka. This would be helpful so that the system tools can be explored more easily.

For example, when running the ConsumerOffsetChecker, it requires a group option

bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.ConsumerOffsetChecker --topic test --group ?

But, when just getting started with kafka, using the console producer and consumer, it is not clear what value to use for the group option.  If a list of consumer groups could be listed, then it would be clear what value to use.
