常用的几个命令如下：
kafka-server-start.sh
kafka-console-consumer.sh
kafka-console-producer.sh
kafka-topics.sh
在这几个命令中，第一个仅用于启动Kafka，后两个console常用于测试，用途最多的是最后一个命令，所以下面命令中主要介绍的就是 kafka-topics.sh。
kafka-server-start.sh
用法：> bin/kafka-server-start.sh [-daemon] server.properties [--override property=value]*
这个命令后面可以有多个参数，第一个是可选参数，该参数可以让当前命令以后台服务方式执行，第二个必须是 Kafka 的配置文件。后面还可以有多个--override开头的参数，其中的property可以是Broker Configs中提供的所有参数。这些额外的参数会覆盖配置文件中的设置。
例如下面使用同一个配置文件，通过参数覆盖启动多个Broker。
> bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon config/server.properties --override broker.id=0 --override log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs-1 --override listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092 --override advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://192.168.16.150:9092 > bin/kafka-server-start.sh -daemon config/server.properties --override broker.id=1 --override log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs-2 --override listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9093 --override advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://192.168.16.150:9093
上面这种用法只是用于演示，真正要启动多个Broker 应该针对不同的 Broker 创建相应的 server.properties 配置。
kafka-console-consumer.sh
这个命令只是简单的将消息输出到标准输出中，该命令支持的参数如下。

其中 --broker-list 和 --topic 是两个必须提供的参数。

从文件读取：

相比上面几个偶尔使用的命令来说，kafka-topics.sh 相对就比较重要。该命令包含以下参数。

下面是几种常用的 topic 命令。
描述主题的配置
bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --entity-type topics --entity-name test_topic
设置保留时间
# Deprecated way
bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --alter --topic test_topic --config retention.ms=1000
# Modern way
bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --alter --entity-type topics --entity-name test_topic --add-config retention.ms=1000
如果您需要删除主题中的所有消息，则可以利用保留时间。首先将保留时间设置为非常低（1000 ms），等待几秒钟，然后将保留时间恢复为上一个值。
注意：默认保留时间为24小时（86400000毫秒）。
删除主题
bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic test_topic
注意：需要在Broker的配置文件server.properties中配置 delete.topic.enable=true 才能删除主题。
主题信息
bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test_topic
添加分区
bin/kafka-topics.sh --alter --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test_topic --partitions 3
创建主题
bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 3 --topic test_topic
列出主题
bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181

命令那么多，怎么记？
Kafka 的命令行工具提供了非常丰富的提示信息，所以只需要记住上面大概的几个用法，知道怎么写就行。当需要用到某个命令时，通过命令提示进行操作。
比如说，如何使用 kafka-configs.sh 查看主题（Topic）的配置？
首先，在命令行中输入bin/kafka-configs.sh，然后或输出下面的命令提示信息。
Add/Remove entity config for a topic, client, user or broker
Option Description
------ -----------
--add-config <String> Key Value pairs of configs to add. Square brackets
can be used to group values which contain commas:
‘k1=v1,k2=[v1,v2,v2],k3=v3‘. The following is a
list of valid configurations: For entity_type
‘topics‘:
cleanup.policy
compression.type
delete.retention.ms
file.delete.delay.ms
flush.messages
flush.ms
follower.replication.throttled.replicas
index.interval.bytes
leader.replication.throttled.replicas
max.message.bytes
message.format.version
message.timestamp.difference.max.ms
message.timestamp.type
min.cleanable.dirty.ratio
min.compaction.lag.ms
min.insync.replicas
preallocate
retention.bytes
retention.ms
segment.bytes
segment.index.bytes
segment.jitter.ms
segment.ms
unclean.leader.election.enable
For entity_type ‘brokers‘:
follower.replication.throttled.rate
leader.replication.throttled.rate
For entity_type ‘users‘:
producer_byte_rate
SCRAM-SHA-256
SCRAM-SHA-512
consumer_byte_rate
For entity_type ‘clients‘:
producer_byte_rate
consumer_byte_rate
Entity types ‘users‘ and ‘clients‘ may be specified
together to update config for clients of a
specific user.
--alter Alter the configuration for the entity.
--delete-config <String> config keys to remove ‘k1,k2‘
--describe List configs for the given entity.
--entity-default Default entity name for clients/users (applies to
corresponding entity type in command line)
--entity-name <String> Name of entity (topic name/client id/user principal
name/broker id)
--entity-type <String> Type of entity (topics/clients/users/brokers)
--force Suppress console prompts
--help Print usage information.
--zookeeper <String: urls> REQUIRED: The connection string for the zookeeper
connection in the form host:port. Multiple URLS
can be given to allow fail-over.
从第一行可以看到这个命令可以修改 topic, client, user 或 broker 的配置。
如果要设置 topic，就需要设置 entity-type 为topics，输入如下命令：
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --entity-type topics
Command must include exactly one action: --describe, --alter
命令提示需要指定一个操作（不只是上面提示的两个操作），增加--describe试试：
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --entity-type topics --describe
[[email protected] kafka_2.11-0.10.2.1]# bin/kafka-configs.sh --entity-type topics --describe
Missing required argument "[zookeeper]"
继续增加 --zookeeper：
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --entity-type topics --describe --zookeeper localhost:2181
Configs for topic ‘__consumer_offsets‘ are segment.bytes=104857600,cleanup.policy=compact,compression.type=producer
由于没有指定主题名，这里显示了__consumer_offsets的信息。下面指定一个topic试试。
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --entity-type topics --describe --zookeeper localhost:2181 --entity-name test
Configs for topic ‘test‘ are
此时显示了test主题的信息，这里是空。
因为Kafka完善的命令提示，可以很轻松的通过提示信息来进行下一步操作，运用熟练后，基本上很快就能实现自己想要的命令。
