Description
Affected version
docker.stackable.tech/stackable/kafka-operator:23.1.0
Current and expected behavior
Requirement: Giving access to Kafka brokers from within a k8s cluster.
Currently, only the external cluster IP is per default advertised by brokers. For my particular setup, this IP:port address isn't and shouldn't be accessible, not from inside or outside of the cluster.
When trying to set the advertised.listeners property of Kafka through KafkaCluster, it is not picked up by the broker configuration, see configuration below. This results in Kafka being effectively not usable in this particular scenario.
brokers:
roleGroups:
default1:
replicas: 1
rg1:
replicas: 1
configOverrides:
server.properties:
advertised.listeners: CLIENT://stack-kafka-broker-rg1-0.mynamespace:9092
kcat shows that brokers still advertise the original external ip regardless of the override.
the brokers configmap contains the override:
5 apiVersion: v1
6 data:
7 log4j.properties: ""
8 server.properties: |
9 advertised.listeners=CLIENT\://stack-kafka-hbdedpmdsf-broker-rg1-0.mynamespace\:9092
yet, the broker itself still does it's own override using the node port (CLIENT://$NODE:$(cat /stackable/tmp/kafka_nodeport)), not preferring the intended override:
bin/kafka-server-start.sh /stackable/config/server.properties --override "zookeeper.connect=$ZOOKEEPER" --override "listeners=CLIENT://0.0.0.0:9092,INTERNAL://0.0.0.0:19093" --override "advertised.listeners=CLIENT://$NODE:$(cat /stackable/tmp/kafka_nodeport),INTERNAL://$POD_NAME.stack-kafka-hbdedpmdsf-broker-rg1.mynamespace.svc.cluster.local:19093" --override "listener.security.protocol.map=CLIENT:PLAINTEXT,INTERNAL:SSL"

Research direction
Trace how KafkaCluster broker configOverrides are rendered into server.properties and how the bin/kafka-server-start.sh command applies advertised.listeners overrides. Reproduce the issue with the shown configuration and verify that the configured advertised.listeners value is honored in broker metadata instead of being replaced by the node-port value.
