Hi all, I have published KIP-421: Support resolving externalized secrets in AbstractConfig on the wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-421%3A+Support+resolving+externalized+secrets+in+AbstractConfig
This KIP intends to enhance the AbstractConfig base class to support replacing variables in configurations just prior to parsing and validation. This simple change will make it very easy for client applications, Kafka Connect, and Kafka Streams to use shared code to easily incorporate externalized secrets and other variable replacements within their configurations. Please let me know your insightful feedback. Regards, Tejal
