      • Although not entirely semantically the same, if the only key without value is used as a taint for nodes because it's rarely possible to mix a taint without value and with value, the "Exists" operation can be used instead of the "Equals" operation and blank string as below:

      1. Set a blank value for toleration, please refer to the sample configuration(*1)
      2. (FYI, Reproduction is possible without using "taint" for nodes)
      3. ==> Kafka cluster keeps rolling updates repeatedly

      • When to set blank value for toleration(*1) Kafka cluster keeps rolling updates repeatedly.
      • The following debug log(*2) is output from the cluster operator. I guess, the Cluster Operator cannot distinguish between null and blank strings, and thus a diff is found repeatedly.

      (*1) toleration set to a blank value

      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
kind: Kafka
spec:
  kafka:
    template:
      pod:
        tolerations:
          - effect: NoSchedule
            key: kafkarole
            operator: Equal 
            value: '' # HERE

      (*2) Cluster Operator debug log:
