Description

I don't think there's a way to read a consumer's(or a producer's) configuration after it has been instantiated? Could it be added eventually? A simple read-only dict-like interface could be useful.

Thanks!

Research direction
Investigate the confluent kafka source code to find where consumer/producer configuration is stored after instantiation. Look for existing methods that store config and consider adding a read only dict like accessor. Review comments in the issue (e.g., #465) for any suggested approaches.
