--------------------------------------------
You might want to assign yourself to this, [~astubbs]
> Console tools should fail fast if an unrecognised --property is passed in
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-8648
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8648
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients, consumer, producer
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Antony Stubbs
> Priority: Major
> Labels: cli, console
>
> Some people don't realise that the --property for the console producer and
> consumer, is for passing options to the formatter, not the actual producer or
> consumer.
> If someone that doesn't know this, passes a property intending it to be a
> consumer or producer property, they are passed to the formatter, but if it's
> not a recognised option for the formatter, it fails silently and the user is
> wondering what happened to their intended setting.
> The console tools otherwise fail on unrecognised arguments, it would be great
> if the default formatter also failed with warning of the unrecognised option.
