Hi All, When Kafka is running on kerberoized cluster/ SSL. Can we add an option security.protocol. So, that user can given PLAINTEXT, SSL, SASL_PLAINTEXT, SASL_SSL. This will be helpful during running console producer and console consumer.
./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list <hostname:port [,hostname:port, …]> --topic <topic-name> --security-protocol SASL_PLAINTEXT ./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper c6401.ambari.apache.org:2181 --topic test_topic --from-beginning --security-protocol SASL_PLAINTEXT *Currently, this property can be configured in producer.properties when running console-producer. And consumer.properties when running cosole-consumer.* Can we add as an option to user during running from console with other options like topic, broker-list. Can you please provide your thoughts on this, if it is useful to go in as a feature or not. If it is useful i will create a jira and work on it. *Note: This is the way HDP stack is working with kafka 0.9.0.. Link is provided below.* https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.3.2/bk_secure-kafka-ambari/content/ch_secure-kafka-produce-events.html Regards, Bharat
