Luke Chen commented on KAFKA-19563: ----------------------------------- Improve the doc first: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/20261 > Separate the controller config and admin config when add controller > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-19563 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19563 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Luke Chen > Priority: Major > Labels: need-kip > > Currently, when adding a controller via CLI, we have to run: > {code:java} > $ bin/kafka-metadata-quorum.sh --command-config config/controller.properties > --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 add-controller > or > $ bin/kafka-metadata-quorum.sh --command-config config/controller.properties > --bootstrap-controller localhost:9093 add-controller{code} > The controller.properties file is expected to be the controller property file > that to be added.
