Description

I tried command specified in Confluent Platform docs at:

https://docs.confluent.io/current/kafka/post-deployment.html#modifying-topics

kafka-topics --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --alter --topic my_topic_name --config x=y
Option combination "[bootstrap-server],[config]" can't be used with option "[alter]" 

The option --alter is still exclusive with --bootstrap-server and --config.
