<p>I want to run the schema-registry in non-master-mode in Kubernetes, I passed the environment variable <code>master.eligibility=false</code>, However, it's still electing the master.</p>
<p>Please point me where else I should change the configuration! There are no errors in the environment value being wrong.</p>
<p>cmd:</p>
<pre><code>helm install helm-test-0.1.0.tgz --set env.name.SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKASTORE_BOOTSERVERS=&quot;PLAINTEXT://xx.xx.xx.xx:9092\,PLAINTEXT://xx.xx.xx.xx:9092\,PLAINTEXT://xx.xx.xx.xx:9092&quot; --set env.name.SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LISTENERS=&quot;http://0.0.0.0:8083&quot; --set env.name.SCHEMA_REGISTRY_MASTER_ELIGIBILITY=false

<p>I checked and your configs look good. I believe, it is, in fact, starting as a follower and the logs are basically displaying who the master is in this case:</p>
<p><code>Assignment{version=1, error=0, master='sr-1-abcd4cf2-8a02-4105-8361-9aa82107acd8', masterIdentity=version=1,host=ip-xx-xxx-xx-xx.ec2.internal,port=8083,scheme=http,masterEligibility=true}</code></p>
