nicu marasoiu commented on KAFKA-1476:
--------------------------------------

if you just browse zookeeper with some standard zkCli.sh and such, would you not be able to get the directory listing, according to the directory structure in zookeeper which should be documented somewhere for the kafka?

> 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.
