             Summary: Add the KIP-631 metadata shell
                 Key: KAFKA-12334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12334
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Colin McCabe
            Assignee: Colin McCabe


interactively examine the metadata stored in a KIP-500 cluster.

It can read the metadata from the controllers directly, by connecting to
them, or from a metadata snapshot on disk. In the former case, the
quorum voters must be specified by passing the --controllers flag; in
the latter case, the snapshot file should be specified via --snapshot.

The metadata tool works by replaying the log and storing the state into
in-memory nodes. These nodes are presented in a fashion similar to
filesystem directories.
