> Global level configurations (much like topic level) for brokers are managed
> by humans and automation systems through server.properties.
> Some configuration make sense to use default (like it is now) or override
> from central location (zookeeper for now). We can modify this through the new
> CLI tool so that every broker can have exact same setting. Some
> configurations we should allow to be overriden from server.properties (like
> port) but others we should use the global store as source of truth (e.g. auto
> topic enable, fetch replica message size, etc). Since most configuration I
> believe are going to fall into this category we should have the list of
> server.properties that can override the global config in the code in a list
> which we can manage... everything else the global takes precedence.
