Dongjin Lee created KAFKA-12613: ----------------------------------- Summary: Inconsistencies between Kafka Config and Log Config Key: KAFKA-12613 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12613 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: core Reporter: Dongjin Lee Assignee: Dongjin Lee Attachments: 20210404-161832.png
I found this problem while investigating KAFKA-8926. Some broker-wide configurations (defined in KafkaConfig) are mapped with log-wide configurations (defined in LogConfig), providing a default value. You can find the complete mapping list in `LogConfig.TopicConfigSynonyms`. The problem is, *some configuration properties' validation is different between KafkaConfig and LogConfig*: !20210404-161832.png! These inconsistencies cause some problems with the dynamic configuration feature. When a user dynamically configures the broker configuration with `AdminClient#alterConfigs`, the submitted config is validated with KafkaConfig, which lacks some validation logic - as a result, they bypasses the correct validation. For example, the user can set `log.cleaner.min.cleanable.ratio` to 0.0 or -0.5 - which is obviously meaningless. * I could not reproduce the situation KAFKA-8926 describes, but fixing this problem also resolves KAFKA-8926. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
