Manikumar Reddy resolved KAFKA-2416. ------------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed Assignee: (was: Sreepathi Prasanna) This got fixed in KAFKA-3256 > misleading kafka-console-consumer.sh --property option > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-2416 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2416 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Onur Karaman > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > > So I ran into this a long time ago and only just now remembered to document > it: > kafka-console-consumer.sh takes a --property option, but this option is just > an argument for the message formatter. I've had ~10 users ask why --property > wasn't properly applying their consumer configuration key-value pairs. The > tool doesn't provide a description for --property, either. I know in the > past, the user was able to provide all consumer configurations from the > command line instead of from a file, so it's pretty understandable why the > mistake would be made. > Some solutions are: > 1. just add a description to --property to the existing tool. It's not ideal > because the "property" name is still there, but it seems unlikely to break > existing users. > 2. fix the existing kafka-console-consumer option name. This breaks existing > users so probably not okay. > 3. make KAFKA-2015 actually a brand new console consumer with a more accurate > option name like --formatter-arg or --formatter-args. This won't break > existing users. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
