Aish Raj Dahal commented on KAFKA-2526: --------------------------------------- [~ewencp] Apologies for the naivety, but I was thinking along the lines throwing an error as well. Additionally, like mentioned in the original issue description as well as one of your earlier comments, creating a KIP for cleaning up the configs in the console producer and the console consumer is what I was planning along. As a user of the command line tools, having a simpler interface to passing the configuration parameters and getting the right error messages for unexpected behavior would surely make my day :) Let me know how this sounds to you. Since I'm fairly new to the community, perhaps out of nativity I am underestimating the effort involved, particularly for the later of of the task i.e., in getting the KIP approved and working on. Suggestions/tips around this are welcome! > Console Producer / Consumer's serde config is not working > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2526 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2526 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Guozhang Wang > Assignee: Mayuresh Gharat > Labels: newbie > > Although in the console producer one can specify the key value serializer, > they are actually not used since 1) it always serialize the input string as > String.getBytes (hence always pre-assume the string serializer) and 2) it is > actually only passed into the old producer. The same issues exist in console > consumer. > In addition the configs in the console producer is messy: we have 1) some > config values exposed as cmd parameters, and 2) some config values in > --producer-property and 3) some in --property. > It will be great to clean the configs up in both console producer and > consumer, and put them into a single --property parameter which could > possibly take a file to reading in property values as well, and only leave > --new-producer as the other command line parameter. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
