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!

> 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.
