Hi, Jiunn-Yang,

Thanks for the reply.

JR40. In the table, there are a few configs for which we now disallow empty
lists. It would be useful to document the current behavior for each of them
more accurately. It seems that they should all lead to some bad behavior.
For example, if log.dirs is empty, it seems that we can't create topics?
If group.coordinator.rebalance.protocols is empty, the group rebalance
protocol will fail?

JR41. It would be useful to clean up the "Compatibility, Deprecation, and
Migration Plan" section a bit.
JR41.1 The migration plan has "Introduce a new properties isEmptyAllowed ,
isNullAllowed", which needs to be changed.
JR41.2 It started with "For users who configure an empty list", but not all
the bullet points are about empty lists.
JR41.3 To me, it would be useful to summarize why the behavior changes are
justified. We made 3 types of changes. (1) Disallow null. This is ok since
one can't really set a null value through a config file. (2) Disallow
duplicates. This is ok since it's rare and confusing. (3) Disallow empty.
Ideally, we want to claim that for those cases, they all lead to some other
errors or had behavior currently.
