Summary: Provide a way to override server configuration from command line Key: KAFKA-1654 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1654 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho I've been recently playing with Kafka and I found the current way of server configuration quite inflexible. All the configuration options have to be inside a properties file and there is no way how they can be overridden for execution. In order to temporarily change one property I had to copy the config file and change the property there. Hence, I'm wondering if people would be open to provide a way how to specify and override the configs from the command line when starting Kafka? Something like: {code} ./bin/kafka-server-start.sh -Dmy.cool.property=X kafka.properties {code} or {code} ./bin/kafka-server-start.sh --set my.cool.property=X kafka.properties {code} I'm more than happy to take a stab at it, but I would like to see if there is an interest for such capability? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
