["ASF GitHub Bot (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9494?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17028540#comment-17028540 ] 

ASF GitHub Bot commented on KAFKA-9494:
---------------------------------------

srpanwar-confluent commented on pull request #8034: KAFKA-9494: Include data type of the config in ConfigEntry
URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8034
 
 
   Why this change?
   To enable better validation. Including the data type can significantly improve client's(web or cli or any other client) ability to validate the values before even making a request to Kafka. In the absence of `type` the only way to know if the user specified value is correct is to make an `alter` call and check if there is no error.
   
   *Summary of testing strategy (including rationale)
   for the feature or bug fix. Unit and/or integration
   tests are expected for any behaviour change and
   system tests should be considered for larger changes.*
   
   Updated and added new unit tests
