Randall Hauch created KAFKA-6387: ------------------------------------ Summary: Worker's producer and consumer configs should inherit from worker configs Key: KAFKA-6387 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6387 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: KafkaConnect Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Randall Hauch
Currently, the worker configuration file defines the connection properties for the three separate types of connections being made to the Kafka cluster: # the worker group membership, # producers for source connectors, # the consumers for sink connectors. The configs are namespaced because to properly support things like interceptors where the configs for 2 and 3 would conflict (same config name, different value). However, it would be beneficial when such control is not required for the producers and consumers to inherit the top-level configurations yet be able to override them with the {{producer.}} and {{consumer.}} namespaced configurations. This way the producer- and consumer-specific configurations need only be specified if/when they need to override the top-level configurations. This may be necessary, for example, to have different ACLs than the connector tasks compared to the producers and consumers. This will require a minimal KIP to explain the new behavior. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
