Version bump, conflict with supermarket kafka'

[http-418]

In issue #89, Mathias mentioned that he was planning a 1.0.0 release. Unfortunately, the 'kafka' cookbook on chef supermarket is already at version 1.x.x.

Seeing as the supermarket cookbook has already been deprecated by its author, would it be reasonable to bump this kafka cookbook to version 2.0.0, so that specifying depends 'kafka', '~> 2' in a wrapper cookbook cannot possibly resolve to the supermarket-published 'kafka' ?

That would be pretty cool, though I don't know much about the Supermarket to be honest, is it possible to "reserve" a name? (I'm guessing not). Or maybe if it would be possible to transfer ownership somehow?

It is definitely possible to transfer a name. I'm not sure how much cooperation you will get from the current owner of 'kafka', since he has replaced it with a new cookbook called 'apache_kafka.'

I would like to see the version bump go to '2.0.0' just to avoid accidental resolution of the wrong cookbook by Berkshelf users. It would be better to see Berkshelf throw an error about unavailable versions. Right now it is easy to grab the supermarket version by accident.

Cool, I'll reach out to the current owner and to see what's up.

Yeah, think I could live with that, seen the same thing with gems on Rubygems (re: version bump to >= 2.x.y).

Yes, this would be great, as lack of supermarket is a blocker for many installations on firewalled networks that only allow http outgoing access. Supermarket cookbooks work fine with Berkshelf and only outgoing http, but berks-specified github repos are inaccessible, as they use the git protocol to download them.

Got the ownership transferred yesterday, and I'll look into releasing v0.9.0 as v2.0.0 on Supermarket this weekend.

Just released v2.0.0 to Supermarket. Let me know if there are any problems (I don't use Supermarket myself :)).

Hi, I am using v2.2.0 [ from Supermarket], it was working good since last week. But, all of sudden, getting the below issue. And cookbook is failing to install.

Recipe: kafka::_configure
* directory[/opt/kafka/config] action create (up to date)
* template[/opt/kafka/config/log4j.properties] action create ==============================================================================
Error executing action create on resource 'template[/opt/kafka/config/log4j.properties]' ==============================================================================
Chef::Mixin::Template::TemplateError
------------------------------------
undefined method `root_logger' for #Mash:0x00000004fc62b0

Thanks

@BalasekharNelli12: If you could open a separate issue that'd be great, and please include which version of Chef you're using. Thanks.
