Unable to use Alpha release with current content

[cptcanuck]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: N/A
• Ruby: N/A
• Distribution: CentOS
• Module version: 3.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Call the kafka class with mirror_url set to a site that does not conform to the apache mirror standard

What are you seeing

The new Alpha release is published to a non-standard apache site (ex: http://home.apache.org/~ijuma/kafka-0.11.0.0-rc1/), which does not follow the URL pattern that is hard coded in the init.pp module:

$package_url = "${mirror_url}/kafka/${version}/${basefilename}"

The pattern used in the alpha release is

${mirror_url}/${basefilename}

example: http://home.apache.org/~ijuma/kafka-0.11.0.0-rc1/kafka_2.11-0.11.0.0.tgz

The package_url variable is constructed within the class, and not available to change through the call or through hiera. I can set $mirror_url:

kafka::mirror_url: 'http://home.apache.org/~ijuma/kafka-0.11.0.0-rc1/'

But that just changes the first part of the site URL

What behaviour did you expect instead

It would be nice to be able to pass a full package name through to the class, to handle non-standard URL patterns

Any additional information you'd like to impart

I am going to see if I can re-work this and submit a PR, but I thought I'd open an issue for tracking
