Why do you think that this is enough ?
I think that we are going off the initial scope of the PIP. The initial problem is about preventing clients from creating topics that contain the "-partition-" keyword. I totally agree that there must be a clear way to distinguish topics that are not meant to be accessed by "regular clients". The answer is in Micheal's words: only super users are allowed to access topics that are not meant to be accessed by clients. Broker to Broker communications are always running with a "super user" role, so it is not a problem. BTW I wonder if it is better to narrow down the scope of the PIP and go back to "-partition-" Enrico > > Best, > Mattison > On Feb 16, 2023, 00:41 +0800, Enrico Olivelli <eolive...@gmail.com>, wrote: > > Il giorno mer 15 feb 2023 alle ore 17:07 <mattisonc...@gmail.com> ha > > scritto: > > > > > > Hi Enrico > > > > > > I think it's a good question.
