--------------------------------------
Summary: kafka-console-consumer.sh waits on inexistent topic
Key: KAFKA-7291
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7291
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: consumer
Affects Versions: 0.8.2.2
Reporter: HUSLEAG Dumitru
Hello,
My request concerns kafka-console-consumer.sh behavior (which I suppose is
based on KafkaConsumer).
If I try to consume from a topic that does not exist it connects and waits as
if it existed, which I find is illogical.
The broker does not have enabled *{{auto.create.topics.enable}}*
{{Let's say I launch this command:}}
{code}
./kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper $(hostname):2181/kafka --topic
inexistentTopic
{code}
and inexistentTopic does not exist indeed, then the kafka-console-consumer.sh
will wait forever instead of exit with error code and display an error message
saying that the topic does not exist.
Anyway that's the way I would expect it to behave in this case.
Please consider this request.
Regards,
Dumitru
