There's a remark on the pull request about this, with more details than in this mail, but basically:
* Other apps seem to regenerate the config files directly through a template rather than try to do a merge (you seem to be doing a SED on defined properties, however it does not work here, maybe a python version issue ?), so that's what I did for server.properties. Where I come from we use Chef, and redefine all configuration files anyways, so I was thinking of duplicating a standard configuration file in the appConfig-default.json (kind of duplicated from the tarball -- again all other packaged apps are doing it like this), and use Chef to regenerate all the appConfig.json in order to deploy infrastructure Kafka (and let users do whatever they wish based on the defaults). Kind regards, JB
