Summary: Better Java Documentation for AdminClient Exceptions
Key: KAFKA-5992
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5992
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.11.0.1
Reporter: Stephane Maarek
When invoking a describeTopics operation on a topic that does not exist, we get
an InvalidTopicException as a RuntimeException.
I believe this should be documented, and the API maybe changed:
For example changing:
{code:java}
public DescribeTopicsResult describeTopics(Collection<String> topicNames) {
{code}
To:
{code:java}
public DescribeTopicsResult describeTopics(Collection<String> topicNames)
throws InvalidTopicException
{code}
Additionally, in case multiple topics don't exist, only the first one will
throw an error. This is really not scalable.
Maybe the DescribeTopicsResult could have a Boolean "topicExists" ?
Up for discussion
