> Key: KAFKA-3809
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3809
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: James Cheng

>
> The documentation for topic-level configuration is not auto-generated from
> the code. configuration.html still contains hand-maintained documentation.
> I noticed this because I wanted to set message.timestamp.type on a topic, and
> didn't see that it was supported, but grepped through the code and it looked
> like it was.
> The code to auto-generate the docs is quite close, but needs some additional
> work. In particular, topic-level configuration is different from all the
> other ConfigDefs in that topic-level configuration docs list the broker-level
> config that they inherit from. We would need to have a way to show what
> broker-level config applies to each topic-level config.
