kafka-rpm's Issues

killproc is called without delay

Hi!
I read your kafka init file and it calls killproc without delay to stop kafka.
killproc has a timeout of 3 seconds (on CentOS 7). After killproc kills (-9) the process.
If kafka does not terminate his flushes before the timeout, indexes won't be flushed and you will have some trouble during the next start.
I think it could be better if you pass a delay to killproc (option -d):
killproc -p $PIDFILE -d 60 $PROG

Bye.

service kafka stop does not work

In nutshell pidfile does not contain kafka server process id.
