I believe that this description: "These properties will be set on the Kafka
configuration after loading any provided configuration properties"
I think it is a bit ... left open for interpretation. (and maybe not grave
enough?) should it state something to the extent of "these properties will
*override* any previously set Kafka configuration properties". I couldn't come
up with a wording I liked a lot because you could form a description using the
work 'properties' which means several different things.
