Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-4754: ------------------------------------ {quote} Hmm. It is not a good practice to pass passwords through the command line. {quote} I agree, but my usage is not via command line. Its actually used internal to the application and used to improve security. This functionality supports a workaround since there was pushback of the feature proposed in KAFKA-2629. I generate the password, and pass it via a call to kafka.Kafka.main(args: Array[String]). > 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)
