Thanks for your report. The latest Pulsar uses picocli to parse the command, it is more strict than jcommander. I reported this issue to the picocli a long time ago, go to remkop/picocli#2348.

Could you use /bin/sh/ -c "COMMAND" in the docker-compose.yml? You can check apache/pulsar-client-go#1304, it works fine.
