Github user Lewuathe commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/338#issuecomment-66713313 I posted this question on kafka mailing list and found the project for improvement of kafka api now. I think it is good way to propose check-existence api to this project. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Command+Line+and+Related+Improvements But anyway current storm-kafka depends on kafka metadata on zookeeper through curator. So I think it is better to solve this issue by using curator api and then raise ticket about changing the way of exchanging between kafka and storm-kafka as originally proposed by @lazyval. What do you think all?
