Sönke Liebau commented on KAFKA-1566:
-------------------------------------
Is this still something we are interested in doing? I just closed KAFKA-1234
as a duplicate of this, because it had no activity for even longer than this
ticket.
Personally I think this is not really necessary, as most deployments will run
from service runner tools like Upstart or Systemd which provide methods for
setting environment variables. At the same time, it also won't hurt and might
be useful for some people, so there is no real reason not to do it.

> This approach is consistent with Hadoop and HBase. However the idea here is
> to be able to set these values in a single place without having to edit
> startup scripts.
