At the moment, we're using this Quarkus Clowder Config Source to populate the clowder properties AND also overwrite some Quarkus properties like port or Kafka topics.

We've found the following issues with the above config source:

• It keeps large data in memory with sensitive information (system properties): SWATCH-2037
  • It fails to resolve computed properties {clowder.property:default}

    . https://github.com/RedHatInsights/clowder-quarkus-config-source/pull/181-

• It does not resolve well the metrics port/path

The clowder config source should:

• Only copy the properties that need/or are intended to replace, not all.
• If no clowder config file is present, do nothing.

This epic is about to list all the issues we found about the Quarkus Clowder Config Source.
