ConcurrencyPractitioner edited a comment on issue #3450: Adding configuration to disable auto-topic creation URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/3450#issuecomment-457945680 Ok, I did some digging and here's what I found: ```createIfMissing``` is used when seeing if a Z-Node is already built for a ledger. If a Z-Node does not exist, then a new one will be created (i.e. if ```createIfMissing``` equals ```true```). I found that ```PersistentTopicsBase``` will (probably?) create a new ```PersistentTopic``` if there is no partition metadata (```partitionMetadata.partitions == 0 ```) for that particular store. At this point, I'm not too sure what this means. My best guess is that if there is no Z-Node for a ledger, then that means no partitions exists for it either. @sijie At this point, I'm not too sure what connection ```createIfMissing``` has with ```partitionMetadata.partitions```.
