--------------------------------------
Summary: 'make tools' should check the version of tools
Key: KAFKA-17140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17140
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai
Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai
Makefile, by default, checks only the existence of file. Hence, developers need
to remove tools folder (or call `make distclean`) manually to trigger the
installation after we update the version of tools.
However, how developers can be aware of the tools updates? Personally, I smell
fishy from the error of warning, but that could be implicit and noisy :cry
In order to fix that, I'd like to introduce the new folder structure to tools
folder: /tools/{tool_name}/{version}. That offers a unique path to each version
of tool. Developers will not miss the updates anymore.
NOTED: we need to remove the existent tool binary if there is naming conflict
in creating the new path. For example, creating /tools/golangci-lint/1.57.2
will fail if /tools/golangci-lint is a existent file.
