Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-4754:
------------------------------------
Its worth noting, it was also possible to echo out passwords on any error in
this code path via CommandLineUtils.parseKeyValueArgs:
{noformat}
System.err.println("Invalid command line properties: " + args.mkString(" "))
{noformat}
> Correctly parse '=' characters in command line overrides

> Key: KAFKA-4754
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4754
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
> Reporter: Grant Henke
> Assignee: Grant Henke
>
> When starting Kafka with an override parameter via "--override
> my.parameter=myvalue".
> If a value contains an '=' character it fails and exits with "Invalid command
> line properties:.."
> Often passwords contain an '=' character so its important to support that
> value.
