>IMO these two phrases contradict each other @fvaleri yes, the documentation is confusing. Instead it should have been - **No properties provided:** Default configurations will be used. - **Properties defined via file input only:** Default configurations will be ignored, and only the properties from the file will be used. - **Properties defined via environment variables only:** Default configurations will be ignored, and only the properties from environment variables will be used. - **Properties defined via both environment variables and file input:** Default configurations will be ignored. Properties from the file will be combined with those from environment variables, with environment variables taking precedence. > but I don't think this is what users expect. I agree that this may not provide the best user experience, but it helps eliminate confusion that could arise from default configurations when users provide their own configurations. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
