-############################# Socket Server Settings #############################
-
-# The address the socket server listens on.
-# Combined nodes (i.e. those with `process.roles=broker,controller`) must list the controller listener here at a minimum.
-# If the broker listener is not defined, the default listener will use a host name that is equal to the value of java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName(),
-# with PLAINTEXT listener name, and port 9092.
-#   FORMAT:
-#     listeners = listener_name://host_name:port
-#   EXAMPLE:
-#     listeners = PLAINTEXT://your.host.name:9092
-listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092,CONTROLLER://:9093
-
-# Name of listener used for communication between brokers.
-inter.broker.listener.name=PLAINTEXT
-
-# Listener name, hostname and port the broker or the controller will advertise to clients.
-# If not set, it uses the value for "listeners".
-advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092,CONTROLLER://localhost:9093
-
-# A comma-separated list of the names of the listeners used by the controller.
-# If no explicit mapping set in `listener.security.protocol.map`, default will be using PLAINTEXT protocol
-# This is required if running in KRaft mode.
-controller.listener.names=CONTROLLER

-# Maps listener names to security protocols, the default is for them to be the same. See the config documentation for more details

-############################# Log Basics #############################
-
-# A comma separated list of directories under which to store log files
-log.dirs=/tmp/kraft-combined-logs
-
-# The default number of log partitions per topic. More partitions allow greater
-# parallelism for consumption, but this will also result in more files across
-# the brokers.
-num.partitions=1
-
-# The number of threads per data directory to be used for log recovery at startup and flushing at shutdown.
-# This value is recommended to be increased for installations with data dirs located in RAID array.
-num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir=1
-
-############################# Internal Topic Settings  #############################
-# The replication factor for the group metadata internal topics "__consumer_offsets", "__share_group_state" and "__transaction_state"
-# For anything other than development testing, a value greater than 1 is recommended to ensure availability such as 3.
-offsets.topic.replication.factor=1
-share.coordinator.state.topic.replication.factor=1
-share.coordinator.state.topic.min.isr=1
-transaction.state.log.replication.factor=1
-transaction.state.log.min.isr=1
-
-############################# Log Flush Policy #############################
-
-# Messages are immediately written to the filesystem but by default we only fsync() to sync
-# the OS cache lazily. The following configurations control the flush of data to disk.
-# There are a few important trade-offs here:
-#    1. Durability: Unflushed data may be lost if you are not using replication.
-#    2. Latency: Very large flush intervals may lead to latency spikes when the flush does occur as there will be a lot of data to flush.
-#    3. Throughput: The flush is generally the most expensive operation, and a small flush interval may lead to excessive seeks.
-# The settings below allow one to configure the flush policy to flush data after a period of time or
-# every N messages (or both). This can be done globally and overridden on a per-topic basis.
-
-# The number of messages to accept before forcing a flush of data to disk
-#log.flush.interval.messages=10000
-
-# The maximum amount of time a message can sit in a log before we force a flush
-#log.flush.interval.ms=1000
-
-############################# Log Retention Policy #############################
-
-# The following configurations control the disposal of log segments. The policy can
-# be set to delete segments after a period of time, or after a given size has accumulated.
-# A segment will be deleted whenever *either* of these criteria are met. Deletion always happens
-# from the end of the log.
-
-# The minimum age of a log file to be eligible for deletion due to age
-log.retention.hours=168
-
-# A size-based retention policy for logs. Segments are pruned from the log unless the remaining
-# segments drop below log.retention.bytes. Functions independently of log.retention.hours.
-#log.retention.bytes=1073741824
-
-# The maximum size of a log segment file. When this size is reached a new log segment will be created.
-log.segment.bytes=1073741824
-
-# The interval at which log segments are checked to see if they can be deleted according
-# to the retention policies
-log.retention.check.interval.ms=300000
