Matt Allwood commented on KAFKA-14326: -------------------------------------- Pretty much, just our app is a bit of a behemoth with the number of topics, so I had a little shell script with one topic per line. Something like {code:java} --input-topics "topic1, topic2, ...topicN"{code} which makes it a lot more tolerable I assume that bash sends through the newlines in this case, but I'm not used to handling inputs like this, so I'm not 100% sure. I was just surprised when it couldn't handle the strings as it was parsing all the whitespace. > kafka-application-reset-tool should accept spaces between input/intermediate > topics > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-14326 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14326 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: streams > Affects Versions: 3.0.1 > Reporter: Matt Allwood > Assignee: Richard Joerger > Priority: Minor > > When running the application reset tool, the tool doesn't recognise topics > when there is whitespace separating them. This can affect readability and > maintainability of stored scripts where we may want to have each topic on a > new line, unless we use string concatenation > It would be better if the tool would strip whitespace from around topic names -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
