The FLIP seems to disregard the existence of dynamic properties, and I'm wondering why that is the case. Don't they fulfill similar roles, in that they allow config options to be set on the command-line?

What use-case do they currently not support?
I assume it's something along the lines of setting some environment variable for containers, but at least for those based on our docker images we already have a mechanism to support that.

In any case, wouldn't a single DYNAMIC_PROPERTIES variable suffice that is automatically evaluated by all scripts?
Why go through all the hassle with the environment variable names?

Thanks, Ufuk. I think that makes sense, so I moved it from a footnote to an
addition to prevent that in the future as well.

Makes sense 👍

 From the FLIP:
This mapping is not strictly bijective, but cases with consecutive
periods or dashes in the key name are not considered here and should not
(reasonably) be allowed.

We could actually enforce such restrictions in the implementation of
ConfigOption, avoiding any surprises down the line.
