[jira] [Updated] (KAFKA-4220) Clean up & provide better error message when incorrect argument types are provided in the command line client

["Ishita Mandhan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ishita Mandhan updated KAFKA-4220:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
When the argument provided to a command line statement is not of the right type, a stack trace is returned. This can be replaced by a cleaner error message that is earlier to read & understand for the user.

For example-
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --new-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic foo --timeout-ms abc
'abc' is an incorrect type for the --timeout-ms parameter, which expects a number.
