Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-4754: ------------------------------------ Its worth noting, it was also possible to echo out passwords on any error in this code path via CommandLineUtils.parseKeyValueArgs: {noformat} System.err.println("Invalid command line properties: " + args.mkString(" ")) {noformat} > Correctly parse '=' characters in command line overrides > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4754 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4754 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 > Reporter: Grant Henke > Assignee: Grant Henke > > When starting Kafka with an override parameter via "--override > my.parameter=myvalue". > If a value contains an '=' character it fails and exits with "Invalid command > line properties:.." > Often passwords contain an '=' character so its important to support that > value. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
