Aishwarya Gune created KAFKA-9593: ------------------------------------- Summary: Kafka config allows updating a nonexistent config and makes it mandatory to specify the config for further config updates Key: KAFKA-9593 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9593 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Aishwarya Gune
When using kafka-config script to update config, attempt to update a non-existing config goes through. For example - ./bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --alter --add-config 'log.cleaner.threads.config=50' --entity-default --entity-type brokers The correct config name is - `log.cleaner.threads`. Following the above command, if the correct config is to be updated it hits the following issue - ```All sensitive broker config entries must be specified for --alter, missing entries: Set(log.cleaner.threads.config)``` One way to update this config now is to specify the incorrect config too - ```Aishwarya-Gunes-MBP13:kafka aishwarya.gune$ ./bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --alter --add-config 'log.cleaner.threads=2,log.cleaner.threads.config=30' --entity-default --entity-type brokers``` -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
