Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-2526:
----------------------------------------------
What is the proposed fix? I don't know that I'd spend too much time on a patch
unless there's some agreement about the fix (aside from prototyping purposes).
The simplest fix is to just throw an error if they try to set the serializers
to anything else to warn them that it won't work.
> Console Producer / Consumer's serde config is not working

> Although in the console producer one can specify the key value serializer,
> they are actually not used since 1) it always serialize the input string as
> String.getBytes (hence always pre-assume the string serializer) and 2) it is
> actually only passed into the old producer. The same issues exist in console
> consumer.
> In addition the configs in the console producer is messy: we have 1) some
> config values exposed as cmd parameters, and 2) some config values in
> --producer-property and 3) some in --property.
> It will be great to clean the configs up in both console producer and
> consumer, and put them into a single --property parameter which could
> possibly take a file to reading in property values as well, and only leave
> --new-producer as the other command line parameter.
