Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-246: --------------------------------- Thanks for the patch! I wonder if instead of adding a logging statement for each value which is a little repetitive we could instead do the following: Create a Props object that wraps Properties and has helpers like getInt, getString, etc. Something like this: https://github.com/voldemort/voldemort/blob/master/src/java/voldemort/utils/Props.java Then add something internal to this helper that records whether a given property is used or not (i.e. a property is used if the get method is called for that key). This class could be used to log out all configuration in a single place and also could log WARN messages for any properties that are not used (since that is likely a typo). > log configuration values used > ----------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-246 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-246 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Jun Rao > Labels: newbie > Attachments: KAFKA-246-broker-0.8.patch > > > Currently, it's hard to figure out which configuration value is being used > and whether a new configuration is being picked up.
