Kafka在 property file format 使用键值对作为配置。这些值无论来自文件还是以编程的方式，都被支持。
1. Broker Configs
必要配置如下：
- broker.id
- log.dirs
- zookeeper.connect
更详细的Topic-level的配置和默认值如下：
| NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | DEFAULT | VALID VALUES | IMPORTANCE | DYNAMIC UPDATE MODE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| zookeeper.connect | 用hostname:port的格式指定ZK连接串。 为了让ZK服务器down掉的时候能够连接上其他的ZK节点，能指定多个hosts：hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3 服务器还可以将ZooKeeper chroot路径作为其ZooKeeper连接字符串的一部分，该字符串将其数据放在全局ZooKeeper命名空间中的某个路径下。例如，一个chroot路径：/chroot/path，需要指定如下连接串：hostname1:port1,hostname2:port2,hostname3:port3/chroot/path. |
string | 高 | 只读 | ||
| advertised.host.name | 废弃，只有在advertised.listeners或者listeners没有指定的时候使用，请用advertised.listeners替代它。要发布到ZK以供客户端使用的主机名。在Iaas环境下，需要和broker绑定的接口不同。如果没有设置，如果设置了host.name就用这个值。否则将使用从java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName()返回的值。 | string | null | 高 | 只读 | |
| advertised.listeners | 如果和监听器配置的属性不同，发布到ZK以供用户使用的监听器。在IaaS环境下，需要和broker绑定的接口不同。如果没有设置，会使用监听器的值。和监听器不同，公开的0.0.0.0的元地址无效。 | string | null | 高 | per-broker | |
| advertised.port | 废弃，仅在advertised.listeners or listeners 未设置时使用。改用advertised.listeners。发布到ZK的接口以供用户使用。在IaaS环境下，需要和broker板顶的端口不同。如果没有设置，将发布和broker绑定的接口相同。 | int | null | 高 | 只读 | |
| auto.create.topics.enable | 在服务器开启自动创建topic | boolean | true | 高 | 只读 | |
| auto.leader.rebalance.enable | 开启自动均衡，一个定时检查和触发leader平衡的后台进程 | boolean | true | 高 | 只读 | |
| background.threads | 开启的后台处理任务的线程数 | int | 10 | [1,...] | 高 | cluster-wide |
| broker.id | 服务器的broker id，如果未设置，会生成一个唯一brokerid。为了避免ZK生成的broker id和用户生成的产生id冲突，生成的broker id从reserved.broker.max.id + 1开始 | int | -1 | 高 | 只读 | |
| compression.type | 指定给定topic的最终压缩类型。这个配置接受标准压缩编码（'gzip', 'snappy', 'lz4', 'zstd'）。还接受“ uncompressed”，也就是不压缩。也接受“ producer“，也就是保留生产者设置的原始压缩编码。 | string | producer | 高 | cluster-wide | |
| control.plane.listener.name | 用于controller和brokers之间的通信的监听器的名称。Broker将使用control.plane.listener.name 来定位监听器列表中的终端，监听来自控制器的连接。 例如，如果broker的配置是：listeners = INTERNAL://192.1.1.8:9092, EXTERNAL://10.1.1.5:9093, CONTROLLER://192.1.1.8:9094 listener.security.protocol.map = INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT, EXTERNAL:SSL, CONTROLLER:SSL control.plane.listener.name = CONTROLLER 启动时，broker将使用SSL安全协议在"192.1.1.8:9094"上监听。在控制器端，当它发现一个broker通过ZK发布了终端，将会使用control.plane.listener.name来找到这个终端，以此建立和broker的连接。 例如：如果一个broker在ZK发布的终端是："endpoints" : ["INTERNAL://broker1.example.com:9092","EXTERNAL://broker1.example.com:9093","CONTROLLER://broker1.example.com:9094"] ；控制器配置是：listener.security.protocol.map = INTERNAL:PLAINTEXT, EXTERNAL:SSL, CONTROLLER:SSL control.plane.listener.name = CONTROLLER 那么控制器将在“broker1.example.com:9094”上使用SSL安全协议连接到broker。如果没有明确配置，默认值是null，并且控制器连接没有专用端点。 |
string | null | 高 | 只读 | |
| delete.topic.enable | 启用删除主题。如果关闭，通过admin工具删除主题将没有作用 | boolean | true | 高 | 只读 | |
| host.name | 废弃，仅在未设置listeners时使用，改为使用listeners，broker的hostname。如果设置了，就只绑定到这个地址。如果没有设置，就绑定到所有接口 | string | "" | 高 | 只读 | |
| leader.imbalance.check.interval.seconds | 控制器触发分区重新平衡检查的频率 | long | 300 | 高 | 只读 | |
| leader.imbalance.per.broker.percentage | 每个broker允许的leader的不平衡的比率。如果每个broker超过了这个值，控制器将触发一次leader平衡。这个值用百分比指定 | int | 100 | 高 | 只读 | |
| listeners | 监听器列表，将监听用逗号分隔的URI列表和监听器名称。如果监听器名称不是一个安全协议，必须设置listener.security.protocol.map。将主机名指定为0.0.0.0以绑定到所有接口。保留hostname为空以绑定到默认接口。 合法的监听器列表示例：PLAINTEXT://myhost:9092,SSL://:9091 CLIENT://0.0.0.0:9092,REPLICATION://localhost:9093 |

| connections.max.reauth.ms | When explicitly set to a positive number (the default is 0, not a positive number), a session lifetime that will not exceed the configured value will be communicated to v2.2.0 or later clients when they authenticate. The broker will disconnect any such connection that is not re-authenticated within the session lifetime and that is then subsequently used for any purpose other than re-authentication. Configuration names can optionally be prefixed with listener prefix and SASL mechanism name in lower-case. For example, listener.name.sasl_ssl.oauthbearer.connections.max.reauth.ms=3600000 | long | 0 | medium | read-only | |

Some examples are: 0.8.2, 0.9.0.0, 0.10.0, check ApiVersion for more details. By setting a particular message format version, the user is certifying that all the existing messages on disk are smaller or equal than the specified version. Setting this value incorrectly will cause consumers with older versions to break as they will receive messages with a format that they don't understand. | string | 2.2-IV1 | [0.8.0, 0.8.1, 0.8.2, 0.9.0, 0.10.0-IV0, 0.10.0-IV1, 0.10.1-IV0, 0.10.1-IV1, 0.10.1-IV2, 0.10.2-IV0, 0.11.0-IV0, 0.11.0-IV1, 0.11.0-IV2, 1.0-IV0, 1.1-IV0, 2.0-IV0, 2.0-IV1, 2.1-IV0, 2.1-IV1, 2.1-IV2, 2.2-IV0, 2.2-IV1] | medium | read-only |

| principal.builder.class | The fully qualified name of a class that implements the KafkaPrincipalBuilder interface, which is used to build the KafkaPrincipal object used during authorization. This config also supports the deprecated PrincipalBuilder interface which was previously used for client authentication over SSL. If no principal builder is defined, the default behavior depends on the security protocol in use. For SSL authentication, the principal will be derived using the rules defined by ssl.principal.mapping.rules applied on the distinguished name from the client certificate if one is provided; otherwise, if client authentication is not required, the principal name will be ANONYMOUS.

| kafka.metrics.reporters | A list of classes to use as Yammer metrics custom reporters. The reporters should implement kafka.metrics.KafkaMetricsReportertrait.

As shown, key and value are separated by a colon and map entries are separated by commas. Each listener name should only appear once in the map. Different security (SSL and SASL) settings can be configured for each listener by adding a normalised prefix (the listener name is lowercased) to the config name. For example, to set a different keystore for the INTERNAL listener, a config with name listener.name.internal.ssl.keystore.locationwould be set. If the config for the listener name is not set, the config will fallback to the generic config (i.e. ssl.keystore.location). |

1.1 Updating Broker Configs
从Kafka1.1开始，一些broker的配置能在不重启broker的情况下更新。见配置表中的“Dynamic Update Mode”一列，描述了每个broker配置的更新方式。
- read-only: 需要broker重启来更新；
- per-broker: 每个broker都可以动态更新
- cluster-wide: 可以作为集群范围内的动态更新，也可能作为测试的per-broker值。
选择为broker id 0 选择当前的broker配置（例如，清空日志的线程数）：
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --alter --add-config log.cleaner.threads=2
为broker id 0描述当前动态broker配置：
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --describe
为broker id 0 删除配置并重置为静态配置或者默认值（例如，日志清理的线程）：
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --alter --delete-config log.cleaner.threads
某些配置可以配置为集群范围的默认值，以在整个集群中保持一致的值，急群众的所有brokers都将处理集群更新。例如，要更新所有的brokers上的日志清理线程。
> bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-default --alter --add-config log.cleaner.threads=2`
描述当前配置的动态集群范围的默认配置：
bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-default --describe
所有可在集群级别配置的配置可以在per-broker级别配置（例如，用于测试）。如果在不同级别定义配置值，则用如下优先顺序：
* Dynamic per-broker config stored in ZooKeeper
* Dynamic cluster-wide default config stored in ZooKeeper
* Static broker config from `server.properties`
* Kafka default, see [broker configs](http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#brokerconfigs)
