Gwen Shapira created KAFKA-5087:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Kafka Connect's configuration topics should always be
compacted
Key: KAFKA-5087
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5087
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Gwen Shapira
New users frequently lose their connector configuration because they did not
manually set the topic deletion policy to "compact". Not a good first
experience with our system.
1. If the topics do not exist, Kafka Connect should create them with the
correct configuration.
2. If the topics do exist, Kafka Connect should check their deletion policy and
refuse to start if it isn't "compact"
I'd love to do it (or have someone else do it) the moment the AdminClient is
merged and to have it in 0.11.0.0.
