Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-181: ------------------------------- That's reasonable for broker configs. What about configs for clients? > Log errors for unrecognized config options > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-181 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Reporter: Joel Koshy > Fix For: 0.8 > > > Currently, unrecognized config options are silently ignored. Notably, if a > config has a typo or if a deprecated config is used, then there is no warning > issued and defaults are assumed. One can argue that the broker or a consumer > or a producer with an unrecognized config option should not even be allowed > to start up especially if defaults are silently assumed, but it would be good > to at least log an error. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
