Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-2671: ------------------------------------- You can start Kafka with KafkaConfig object (I believe LinkedIn are doing this). Since you can create KafkaConfig from properties object, I'm not sure why this additional interface is needed. > Enable starting Kafka server with a Properties object > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2671 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2671 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Reporter: Ashish K Singh > Assignee: Ashish K Singh > > Kafka, as of now, can only be started with a properties file and override > params. It makes life easier for management applications to be able to start > Kafka with a properties object programatically. > The changes required to enable this are minimal, just a tad bit of > refactoring of kafka.Kafka. The changes must maintain current behavior intact. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
