-------------------------------------
Summary: Update connect to use ForwardingAdmin
Key: KAFKA-15478
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15478
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Omnia Ibrahim
Connect uses AdminClients to create topics; while this simplifies the
implementation of Connect it has the following problems
* It assumes that whoever runs Connect must have admin access to both source
and destination clusters. This assumption is not necessarily valid all the time.
* It creates conflict in use-cases where centralised systems or tools manage
Kafka resources.
It would be easier if customers could provide how they want to manage Kafka
topics through admin client or using their centralised system or tools.
