Class ConfigDef

java.lang.Object
org.apache.kafka.common.config.ConfigDef

public class ConfigDef extends Object
This class is used for specifying the set of expected configurations. For each configuration, you can specify the name, the type, the default value, the documentation, the group information, the order in the group, the width of the configuration value and the name suitable for display in the UI. You can provide special validation logic used for single configuration validation by overriding ConfigDef.Validator. Moreover, you can specify the dependents of a configuration. The valid values and visibility of a configuration may change according to the values of other configurations. You can override ConfigDef.Recommender to get valid values and set visibility of a configuration given the current configuration values.

To use the class:

 ConfigDef defs = new ConfigDef();

 // check define(String, Type, Object, Importance, String) for more details.
 defs.define("config_with_default", Type.STRING, "default string value", Importance.High, "Configuration with default value.");
 // check define(String, Type, Object, Validator, Importance, String) for more details.
 defs.define("config_with_validator", Type.INT, 42, Range.atLeast(0), Importance.High, "Configuration with user provided validator.");
 // check define(String, Type, Importance, String, String, int, Width, String, List<String>) for more details.
 defs.define("config_with_dependents", Type.INT, Importance.LOW, "Configuration with dependents.", "group", 1, Width.SHORT, "Config With Dependents", Arrays.asList("config_with_default","config_with_validator"));

 Map<String, String> props = new HashMap<>();
 props.put("config_with_default", "some value");
 props.put("config_with_dependents", "some other value");

 Map<String, Object> configs = defs.parse(props);
 // will return "some value"
 String someConfig = (String) configs.get("config_with_default");
 // will return default value of 42
 int anotherConfig = (Integer) configs.get("config_with_validator");

 // To validate the full configuration, use:
 List<ConfigValue> configValues = defs.validate(props);
 // The ConfigValue contains updated configuration information given the current configuration values.
 

This class can be used standalone or in combination with AbstractConfig which provides some additional functionality for accessing configs.

      Parsed and validated configs. The key will be the config name and the value will be the value parsed into the appropriate type (int, string, etc).
