Viliam Durina updated KAFKA-5874:
---------------------------------
Description:
Extra parameters on command line are silently ignored. This leads to confusion.
For example, I did this command:
{{kafka-topics.bat --alter --topic my_topic partitions 3 --zookeeper localhost}}
Seemingly innocuous command took about 3 seconds and output nothing. It took me
a while to realize I missed "--" before "partitions", after which I got a
confirmation on output.
Erroneous command lines should produce error output.
