Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-2410:
------------------------------------
Great! Though I am concerned it overlaps with some of the Work in
[KIP-4|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-4+-+Command+line+and+centralized+administrative+operations]
(KAFKA-2229). Does the patch still apply today? Can it be updated and
reviewed? Perhaps a side discussion on the dev mailing list is appropriate.
> Implement "Auto Topic Creation" client side and remove support from Broker
> side

> Key: KAFKA-2410
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2410
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients, core
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
> Reporter: Grant Henke
> Assignee: Grant Henke
>
> Auto topic creation on the broker has caused pain in the past; And today it
> still causes unusual error handling requirements on the client side, added
> complexity in the broker, mixed responsibility of the TopicMetadataRequest,
> and limits configuration of the option to be cluster wide. In the future
> having it broker side will also make features such as authorization very
> difficult.
> There have been discussions in the past of implementing this feature client
> side.

> This Jira is to track that discussion and implementation once the necessary
> protocol support exists: KAFKA-2229
