AlterConfigPolicy (clients 3.6.1.0-eep-930 API)

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Configurable
```
public interface AlterConfigPolicy
extends Configurable, AutoCloseable
```
An interface for enforcing a policy on alter configs requests.
Common use cases are requiring that the replication factor, min.insync.replicas and/or retention settings for a topic remain within an allowable range.
If alter.config.policy.class.name is defined, Kafka will create an instance of the specified class using the default constructor and will then pass the broker configs to its configure() method. During broker shutdown, the close() method will be invoked so that resources can be released (if necessary).
