Tommy Becker commented on KAFKA-4436:
-------------------------------------

FWIW, I would be in favor of doing this for all configs; it's much more 
elegant, discoverable, and less error prone than the current method of wrapping 
a Map<?, ?> with the config object.

> Provide builder pattern for StreamsConfig

>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Currently, {{StreamsConfig}} parameters must be set "manually" as key value 
> pairs. This has multiple disadvantages from a user point of view:
>  - mandatory arguments could be missing
>  - data types might be wrong
>  - producer/consumer config parameters could conflict as they might have the 
> same name (user needs to know to prefix them to avoid conflict)
> Those problems have different impact: either a runtime exception is thrown if 
> the problem is detected (e.g. missing parameter or wrong type) or the 
> application is just not configured correctly (producer/consumer has wrong 
> config).
> A builder pattern would avoid those problems by forcing the user in the first 
> place to specify thing correctly (otherwise, it won't compile). For example 
> something like this:
> {noformat}
> StreamsConfig config = StreamsConfig.builder()
>     .setApplicationId(String appId)
>     .addBootstrapServer(String host, int port)
>     .addBootstrapServer(String host, int port)
>     .addZookeeper(String host, int port)
>     .addZookeeper(String host, int port)
>     .setStateDirectory(File path)
>     .setConsumerConfig(
>         ConsumerConfig.builder()
>             .setAutoOffsetReset(...)
>             .build()
>     )
>     .build();
> {noformat}
