Github user james-sirota commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/127#issuecomment-222411369 FYI...for some reason the kafka topic does not always get auto created. I can't figure out what options cause it to not auto create. Also, some times kafka throws an error the first time you push into a topic. However, when you run the same command again it works just fine. Maybe something to keep in mind for the future is that we can't rely on the kafka producer to reliably create a topic
