Public Interfaces

Add an option:

• --reader.config to t

...

• ool kafka-console-producer

...

• .sh

...

• --formatter.config

...

• to tool kafka-console-consumer.sh

As for --producer-property/--consumer-property with --consumer.config/--producer.config, any value from option --property would override value from config file.

...

Define a property in config file and in options and check that option override config file.

Rejected Alternatives

NoneUse of generic option --config to avoid confusion in the purpose of this config file (but on the other hand, the current --property is quite generic already, maybe another KIP to change it).
