Removing Confluent Kafka from RHEL7

Confluent packages can simply be removed the same way they are installed. We can download the package and run the services separately. But if you have it installed through yum, it can be as easily removed. Here we are removing it using yum remove command.

yum-remove

After getting a confirmation, it erases the installed components as follows:

is_ok

As the older version is removed, we can get the new packages and directly run it. Here we have downloaded the whole package and running it using confluent CLI directly from bin folder:

confluent start
