KIP-1324 — Support client configuration observability
Discussion ClientBrokerProtocol
Introduces a PushConfig RPC through which clients send their configuration keys and values to the broker, processed by a new pluggable ClientConfigPolicy interface, opt-in on the broker and opt-out on the client in the style of KIP-714. Client configuration is the top adoption pain point and application teams are usually siloed from the teams operating the cluster, so operators have no centralized view of how clients are configured when troubleshooting or tuning.
