[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-4754) Correctly parse '=' characters in command line overrides

["Grant Henke (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4754?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15860597#comment-15860597 ] 

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}

> 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.
