I run the following command to check per-topic overrides for Kafka topics. But I just got the following sentence only, it does not showing any data

"Configs for topic 'staging_trading_volume-0' are"

/usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper hdpzookeeper1:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name staging_trading_volume-0 --describe

Hello @Nilesh!
Did you made any override to the staging_trading_volume-0 topic? If so, what was it?

E.g.

[root@node1 bin]# ./kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper node2:2181,node3:2181,node1:2181 --topic fake-topic --partitions 3 --replication-factor 3 --create 
Created topic "fake-topic".
[root@node1 bin]# ./kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper node2:2181,node3:2181,node1:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name fake-topic --add-config compression.type=snappy --alter
Completed Updating config for entity: topic 'fake-topic'.
[root@node1 bin]# ./kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper node2:2181,node3:2181,node1:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name fake-topic --describe
Configs for topic 'fake-topic' are compression.type=snappy

In the case above the kafka-configs will only show the parameters changed for the topics at the client level, at the "global" level those are only visible at the broker configuration (server.properties or ambari).

Hope this helps!
