    Description

      kafka-console-consumer --help prints "help is not a recognized option" as well as output of options

      kafka-console-producer --help prints "help is not a recognized option" but no output of options

      Possible solutions:
      (a) Enhance kafka-console-producer to also print out all options when a user passes in an unrecognized option
      (b) Enhance both kafka-console-producer and kafka-console-consumer to legitimately accept the --help flag
