   Sorry about this. I think my 
[comment](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/19208#discussion_r1081486335) 
thread has been hiding as resolved, so I'm resurfacing it if that's ok 
@andrasbeni 
   
   ```java
    String factoryClasses = 
System.getProperty(METADATASTORE_PROVIDERS_PROPERTY);
   ```
   
   1. @andrasbeni The only tool I see here is CompactorTool, the rest are just 
plain Pulsar services that have access to Pulsar config. The Comparator tool 
itself has an argument `@Parameter(names = {"-c", "--broker-conf"}, description 
= "Configuration file for Broker")` so it also has access to the configuration 
file.
   So based on that, it seems that we can use the Pulsar configuration for 
those provider classes, no?
   
   2. That one is a bit odd. If Pulsar is creating the BK client, why not 
provide the Client Metadata driver through the BK client itself? Why go through 
a System property to statically initialize? It may make sense inside BK itself. 
Maybe @hangc0276 knows. We can also call it when Pulsar initializes, as it has 
a method.
   
   Based on (1) and (2), I don't understand why we can't use Pulsar 
configuration for that config @andrasbeni 
   
   Last question, @andrasbeni: does Pulsar have a mechanism that, based on an 
ENV variable or System property, sets a property in the configuration (like an 
override)? So you can define it in the pulsar configuration and use the 
technique you used to set it via a system property, making it less intrusive, 
less static code?
