Description

Currently, we doesn't use double quote when using CLASSPATH in kafka-run-class.sh. This could potentially cause issues as spaces in external CLASSPATH may result in the CLASSPATH to be incorrectly interpreted. As we perform a check on whether CLASSPATH is provided to determine the initial value of CLASSPATH, not using double quotes may cause the external CLASSPATH not be included in the final CLASSPATH.
