ALTER SYSTEM

Synopsis

1
ALTER SYSTEM '<config-name>'='<value>';

Description

Sets and modifies the value of system-level configs. These are properties that are applied to all queries in the cluster. Using ALTER SYSTEM results in the new value being applied immediately across the cluster and restarts the shared runtime to take effect for existing queries.

To use the ALTER SYSTEM statement, the ksql.runtime.feature.shared.enabled configuration setting must be true.

ALTER SYSTEM is available only from the ksql command line and only when connected to a ksqlDB cluster in Confluent Cloud.

Example

The following statement sets the streams property auto.offset.reset to begin at the earliest record in the input topics when no committed offsets are found.

1
ALTER SYSTEM 'auto.offset.reset'='earliest';
