Jason Rosenberg commented on KAFKA-1507:
----------------------------------------
I think relegating topic creation to an admin client would be very limitiing.
It's extremely useful to have a self-service system where new applications can
just create a new topic on demand (with reasonable defaults), without the need
for an admin to come in and prepare topics ahead of a code release (leave that
to dba's managing transactional databases!).
I do like the idea of an automatic create topic request from a producer, in
response to a topic not found exception, rather than auto-creating topics from
meta-data requests (which happens asynchronously and causes the initial meta
data request to fail usually!). Consumers should never create a topic, I
should think.
> Using GetOffsetShell against non-existent topic creates the topic
> unintentionally
