Hi@akhtar,

Actually, in kafka there is no command kafka --version to find version. You can find by using the below commands.

$ jps -m
7108 QuorumPeerMain config/zookeeper.properties
8219 Kafka config/server.properties
[root@master bin]# pwdx 8219
8219: /root/Desktop/kafka_2.11-0.9.0.0

Here 2.11 is scala version and 0.9.0.0 is kafka version.

Hope this will help.

Hi @MD can you please tell in mac how to find out kafka version

I don't have mac system, but I think it will work for mac also, because kafka is an independent tool.

Can we check the version with kafka command? I have gone through the official document. But not able to find it...

Hi,

I think Kafka doesn't have any command t check the version. But you can apply the above trick. It will work.
