This repository is a collection of tools and scripts for working with Apache Kafka <http://kafka.apache.org>. The Site Reliability team for Kafka at LinkedIn has built these over time in order to make managing Kafka a little bit easier. Our intention is to add to this repository as more tools are developed, and we welcome additions and modifications that make things better for all!

• kafka-assigner - This script is used for performing partition reassignments and preferred replica elections. It uses the admin CLI utilities provided with Kafka and layers on additional logic to perform tasks like removing a broker from a cluster, and rebalancing partitions in a cluster according to several criteria.

These tools are generally written in Python, and besides a basic installation, you will need the following additional modules:

• Paramiko
• Kazoo

For details about how to use these scripts effectively, please refer to the linked wiki pages for each one

In addition to these tools, LinkedIn has also open-sourced Burrow <https://github.com/linkedin/Burrow>, a robust system for monitoring Kafka consumer clients.
