<a href="#dynamicbrokerconfigs">3.1.1 Updating Broker Configs
    </a></h4>
  From Kafka version 1.1 onwards, some of the broker configs can be updated without restarting the broker. See the
  <code>Dynamic Update Mode</code> column in <a href="#brokerconfigs">Broker Configs</a> for the update mode of each broker config.
  <ul>
    <li><code>read-only</code>: Requires a broker restart for update</li>
    <li><code>per-broker</code>: May be updated dynamically for each broker</li>
    <li><code>cluster-wide</code>: May be updated dynamically as a cluster-wide default. May also be updated as a per-broker value for testing.</li>
  </ul>

  To alter the current broker configs for broker id 0 (for example, the number of log cleaner threads):
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --alter --add-config log.cleaner.threads=2</code></pre>

  To describe the current dynamic broker configs for broker id 0:
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --describe</code></pre>

  To delete a config override and revert to the statically configured or default value for broker id 0 (for example,
  the number of log cleaner threads):
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --alter --delete-config log.cleaner.threads</code></pre>

  Some configs may be configured as a cluster-wide default to maintain consistent values across the whole cluster.  All brokers
  in the cluster will process the cluster default update. For example, to update log cleaner threads on all brokers:
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-default --alter --add-config log.cleaner.threads=2</code></pre>

  To describe the currently configured dynamic cluster-wide default configs:
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-default --describe</code></pre>

  All configs that are configurable at cluster level may also be configured at per-broker level (e.g. for testing).
  If a config value is defined at different levels, the following order of precedence is used:
  <ul>
  <li>Dynamic per-broker config stored in ZooKeeper</li>
  <li>Dynamic cluster-wide default config stored in ZooKeeper</li>
  <li>Static broker config from <code>server.properties</code></li>
  <li>Kafka default, see <a href="#brokerconfigs">broker configs</a></li>
  </ul>

  <h5>Updating Password Configs Dynamically</h5>
  <p>Password config values that are dynamically updated are encrypted before storing in ZooKeeper. The broker config
  <code>password.encoder.secret</code> must be configured in <code>server.properties</code> to enable dynamic update
  of password configs. The secret may be different on different brokers.</p>
  <p>The secret used for password encoding may be rotated with a rolling restart of brokers. The old secret used for encoding
  passwords currently in ZooKeeper must be provided in the static broker config <code>password.encoder.old.secret</code> and
  the new secret must be provided in <code>password.encoder.secret</code>. All dynamic password configs stored in ZooKeeper
  will be re-encoded with the new secret when the broker starts up.</p>
  <p>In Kafka 1.1.x, all dynamically updated password configs must be provided in every alter request when updating configs
  using <code>kafka-configs.sh</code> even if the password config is not being altered. This constraint will be removed in
  a future release.</p>

  <h5>Updating Password Configs in ZooKeeper Before Starting Brokers</h5>

  From Kafka 2.0.0 onwards, <code>kafka-configs.sh</code> enables dynamic broker configs to be updated using ZooKeeper before
  starting brokers for bootstrapping. This enables all password configs to be stored in encrypted form, avoiding the need for
  clear passwords in <code>server.properties</code>. The broker config <code>password.encoder.secret</code> must also be specified
  if any password configs are included in the alter command. Additional encryption parameters may also be specified. Password
  encoder configs will not be persisted in ZooKeeper. For example, to store SSL key password for listener <code>INTERNAL</code>
  on broker 0:

  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 0 --alter --add-config
    'listener.name.internal.ssl.key.password=key-password,password.encoder.secret=secret,password.encoder.iterations=8192'</code></pre>

  The configuration <code>listener.name.internal.ssl.key.password</code> will be persisted in ZooKeeper in encrypted
  form using the provided encoder configs. The encoder secret and iterations are not persisted in ZooKeeper.

  <h5>Updating SSL Keystore of an Existing Listener</h5>
  Brokers may be configured with SSL keystores with short validity periods to reduce the risk of compromised certificates.
  Keystores may be updated dynamically without restarting the broker. The config name must be prefixed with the listener prefix
  <code>listener.name.{listenerName}.</code> so that only the keystore config of a specific listener is updated.
  The following configs may be updated in a single alter request at per-broker level:
  <ul>
    <li><code>ssl.keystore.type</code></li>
    <li><code>ssl.keystore.location</code></li>
    <li><code>ssl.keystore.password</code></li>
    <li><code>ssl.key.password</code></li>
  </ul>
  If the listener is the inter-broker listener, the update is allowed only if the new keystore is trusted by the truststore
  configured for that listener. For other listeners, no trust validation is performed on the keystore by the broker. Certificates
  must be signed by the same certificate authority that signed the old certificate to avoid any client authentication failures.

  <h5>Updating SSL Truststore of an Existing Listener</h5>
  Broker truststores may be updated dynamically without restarting the broker to add or remove certificates.
  Updated truststore will be used to authenticate new client connections. The config name must be prefixed with the
  listener prefix <code>listener.name.{listenerName}.</code> so that only the truststore config of a specific listener
  is updated. The following configs may be updated in a single alter request at per-broker level:
  <ul>
    <li><code>ssl.truststore.type</code></li>
    <li><code>ssl.truststore.location</code></li>
    <li><code>ssl.truststore.password</code></li>
  </ul>
  If the listener is the inter-broker listener, the update is allowed only if the existing keystore for that listener is trusted by
  the new truststore. For other listeners, no trust validation is performed by the broker before the update. Removal of CA certificates
  used to sign client certificates from the new truststore can lead to client authentication failures.

  <h5>Updating Default Topic Configuration</h5>
  Default topic configuration options used by brokers may be updated without broker restart. The configs are applied to topics
  without a topic config override for the equivalent per-topic config. One or more of these configs may be overridden at
  cluster-default level used by all brokers.
  <ul>
    <li><code>log.segment.bytes</code></li>
    <li><code>log.roll.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.roll.hours</code></li>
    <li><code>log.roll.jitter.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.roll.jitter.hours</code></li>
    <li><code>log.index.size.max.bytes</code></li>
    <li><code>log.flush.interval.messages</code></li>
    <li><code>log.flush.interval.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.retention.bytes</code></li>
    <li><code>log.retention.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.retention.minutes</code></li>
    <li><code>log.retention.hours</code></li>
    <li><code>log.index.interval.bytes</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.delete.retention.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.min.compaction.lag.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.max.compaction.lag.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.min.cleanable.ratio</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleanup.policy</code></li>
    <li><code>log.segment.delete.delay.ms</code></li>
    <li><code>unclean.leader.election.enable</code></li>
    <li><code>min.insync.replicas</code></li>
    <li><code>max.message.bytes</code></li>
    <li><code>compression.type</code></li>
    <li><code>log.preallocate</code></li>
    <li><code>log.message.timestamp.type</code></li>
    <li><code>log.message.timestamp.difference.max.ms</code></li>
  </ul>

  From Kafka version 2.0.0 onwards, unclean leader election is automatically enabled by the controller when the config
  <code>unclean.leader.election.enable</code> is dynamically updated.
  In Kafka version 1.1.x, changes to <code>unclean.leader.election.enable</code> take effect only when a new controller is elected.
  Controller re-election may be forced by running:

  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/zookeeper-shell.sh localhost
  rmr /controller</code></pre>

  <h5>Updating Log Cleaner Configs</h5>
  Log cleaner configs may be updated dynamically at cluster-default level used by all brokers. The changes take effect
  on the next iteration of log cleaning. One or more of these configs may be updated:
  <ul>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.threads</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.io.max.bytes.per.second</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.dedupe.buffer.size</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.io.buffer.size</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.io.buffer.load.factor</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.backoff.ms</code></li>
  </ul>

  <h5>Updating Thread Configs</h5>
  The size of various thread pools used by the broker may be updated dynamically at cluster-default level used by all brokers.
  Updates are restricted to the range <code>currentSize / 2</code> to <code>currentSize * 2</code> to ensure that config updates are
  handled gracefully.
  <ul>
    <li><code>num.network.threads</code></li>
    <li><code>num.io.threads</code></li>
    <li><code>num.replica.fetchers</code></li>
    <li><code>num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir</code></li>
    <li><code>log.cleaner.threads</code></li>
    <li><code>background.threads</code></li>
  </ul>

  <h5>Updating ConnectionQuota Configs</h5>
  The maximum number of connections allowed for a given IP/host by the broker may be updated dynamically at cluster-default level used by all brokers.
  The changes will apply for new connection creations and the existing connections count will be taken into account by the new limits.
  <ul>
    <li><code>max.connections.per.ip</code></li>
    <li><code>max.connections.per.ip.overrides</code></li>
  </ul>

  <h5>Adding and Removing Listeners</h5>
  <p>Listeners may be added or removed dynamically. When a new listener is added, security configs of the listener must be provided
  as listener configs with the listener prefix <code>listener.name.{listenerName}.</code>. If the new listener uses SASL,
  the JAAS configuration of the listener must be provided using the JAAS configuration property <code>sasl.jaas.config</code>
  with the listener and mechanism prefix. See <a href="#security_jaas_broker">JAAS configuration for Kafka brokers</a> for details.</p>

  <p>In Kafka version 1.1.x, the listener used by the inter-broker listener may not be updated dynamically. To update the inter-broker
  listener to a new listener, the new listener may be added on all brokers without restarting the broker. A rolling restart is then
  required to update <code>inter.broker.listener.name</code>.</p>

  In addition to all the security configs of new listeners, the following configs may be updated dynamically at per-broker level:
  <ul>
    <li><code>listeners</code></li>
    <li><code>advertised.listeners</code></li>
    <li><code>listener.security.protocol.map</code></li>
  </ul>
  Inter-broker listener must be configured using the static broker configuration <code>inter.broker.listener.name</code>
  or <code>inter.broker.security.protocol</code>.

  <h3 class="anchor-heading">
      <a class="anchor-link" id="topicconfigs" href="#topicconfigs"></a>
<a href="#topicconfigs">3.2 Topic</a>-Level Configs
    </h3>

  Configurations pertinent to topics have both a server default as well an optional per-topic override. If no per-topic configuration is given the server default is used. The override can be set at topic creation time by giving one or more <code>--config</code> options. This example creates a topic named <i>my-topic</i> with a custom max message size and flush rate:
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-topics.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --create --topic my-topic --partitions 1 \
      --replication-factor 1 --config max.message.bytes=64000 --config flush.messages=1</code></pre>
  Overrides can also be changed or set later using the alter configs command. This example updates the max message size for <i>my-topic</i>:
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name my-topic
      --alter --add-config max.message.bytes=128000</code></pre>

  To check overrides set on the topic you can do
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name my-topic --describe</code></pre>

  To remove an override you can do
  <pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-bash">  &gt; bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181  --entity-type topics --entity-name my-topic
      --alter --delete-config max.message.bytes</code></pre>

  The following are the topic-level configurations. The server's default configuration for this property is given under the Server Default Property heading. A given server default config value only applies to a topic if it does not have an explicit topic config override.
