A Kafka Configuration Grepping Tool
The kafka-crepe is a commandline tool to search Kafka related configurations (broker, producer, consumer, etc). crepe means Configuration Regular Expression (matching and) Print Eureka!
Ever tried to search the Kafka documentation page for a certain configuration and feel your eyes are bleeding? Try kafka-crepe.
$ ./kafka-crepe.py -h
usage: kafka-crepe.py [-h] [-d DOC] [-f FORMAT] keyword
kafka-crepe searches configurations that match keyword and print it to terminal.
-d specifies which configuration document do you want to search. For instance, -d producer will search from producer configurations. By default it is -d kafka, which is broker configuration.
-f sets the output format. -f name will print only configuration name, and -f details will print additional information, such as description, default, etc.
Configuration documents are stored in the submodule kafka-site. It contains documents for all versions.
kafka-site/[ver]/generated stores the auto generated configurations (kafka_config, producer_config, etc).
kafka-docs is a symlink that points to kafka-site/[latest version]/generated. kafka-crepe uses the link to find documents to search.
kafka-crepe relies on submodule kafka-site so it has to be pulled down to local.
When git clone kafka-crepe, clone with --recursive.
kafka-crepe runs with Python3, depends on BeautifulSoup 4 and Termcolor. A proper requirements.txt is on TODO list.
