Hi Ting Ting, this is a byproduct of Bug #4707. The new code check is dependent on "service confluent status" to return correctly. On your machine, the code is old and the function is not there.

I was going to return this defect but then I decided to add in another check to make sure that confluent is installed before running the test.

Ting Ting, I added the new version of the /etc/init.d/confluent onto your test machine but named it .vkhu

[root@c910f02c01p22 init.d]# ls -ltr confluent*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 941 Mar 19 14:49 confluent
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 903 Jul 6 10:07 confluent.vkhu

If you want to verify the original defect, please use the .vkhu version
