James Cheng commented on KAFKA-6746:
------------------------------------

The zookeeper.connect config value actually lets you specify a chroot path, but it appears that the documentation doesn't actually say that. At least, not in the right place.

Here is something from the old consumer section: [http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#oldconsumerconfigs]
{noformat}
The server may also have a ZooKeeper chroot path as part of its ZooKeeper connection string which puts its data under some path in the global ZooKeeper namespace. If so the consumer should use the same chroot path in its connection string. For example to give a chroot path of /chroot/path you would give the connection string as hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3/chroot/path.
{noformat}
Can you test if that works? And if so, would you be willing to open a pull request to improve the documentation about this?

> By allowing users to specify the {{Znode}} to be used along with the {{ZK Quorum}}, users will be able to reuse a {{ZK}} cluster for many {{Kafka}} clusters. This will help in reducing the {{ZK}} cluster footprint especially in non production environment.
