-----------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to override server configuration from
command line
Key: KAFKA-1654
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1654
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
I've been recently playing with Kafka and I found the current way of server
configuration quite inflexible. All the configuration options have to be inside
a properties file and there is no way how they can be overridden for execution.
In order to temporarily change one property I had to copy the config file and
change the property there. Hence, I'm wondering if people would be open to
provide a way how to specify and override the configs from the command line
when starting Kafka?
Something like:
{code}
./bin/kafka-server-start.sh -Dmy.cool.property=X kafka.properties
{code}
or
{code}
./bin/kafka-server-start.sh --set my.cool.property=X kafka.properties
{code}
I'm more than happy to take a stab at it, but I would like to see if there is
an interest for such capability?
