[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-997) Provide a strict verification mode when reading configuration properties

["Sam Meder (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-997?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14010310#comment-14010310 ] 

Sam Meder commented on KAFKA-997:
---------------------------------

Looked at this a bit more a while ago and am just going to close the issue. The config system currently needs to be extensible (for e.g. metrics system properties) so making strict verification work without clear namespacing and extension rules is impossible. We're instead taking the approach of creating internal constants for all the Kafka properties, so we can manage and detect change that way.

> This ticket is based on the discussion in KAFKA-943. It introduces a new property that makes the config  system throw an exception when it encounters unrecognized properties. (instead of a simple warn-level log statement). This new property defaults to false.
> Hopefully this will result in fewer instance of out-of-date configuration.
