Magnus Edenhill commented on KAFKA-6885:
----------------------------------------
Okay, I think I understand, the choice of "synonym" is a bit confusing to me
since the synonyms are mostly not actual synonyms, but config source
alternatives and lineage.
Thanks for the explanation.
> DescribeConfigs synonyms are are identical to parent entry for BROKER

> Key: KAFKA-6885
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6885
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: admin
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Magnus Edenhill
> Priority: Major
>
> The DescribeConfigs protocol response for BROKER resources returns synonyms
> for various configuration entries, such as "log.dir".
> The list of synonyms returned are identical to their parent configuration
> entry, rather than the actual synonyms.
> For example, for the broker "log.dir" config entry it returns one synonym,
> also named "log.dir" rather than "log.dirs" or whatever the synonym is
> supposed to be.
>
> This does not seem to happen for TOPIC resources.
