Motivation

The StreamsResetter doesn't let the user pass in any configurations to the embedded consumer. This is a problem in secure environments because you can't configure the embedded consumer and Admin Client to talk to the cluster. The streams reset tool should allow an approach to pass consumer configurations.

Public Interfaces

To add 2 options to StreamsReset tool.

 commandConfigOption = optionParser.accepts("command-config", "Property file containing configs to be passed to Admin Client and Embedded Consumer")
              .withRequiredArg()
              .ofType(String.class)
              .describedAs("command config property file"); 

Proposed Changes

To add 2 options to streams reset tool.

1. consumer.config - To pass consumer configuration properties file.
2. consumer-property - To pass consumer property as a key=value pair

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

• • This is purely an addition of an option to kafka-streams-application-reset.sh. It will not cause any compatibility issues.

Rejected Alternatives

No rejected alternatives. As without the config options, streams reset tool will not work in Secure Kafka cluster
