@Lewuathe can you give details whats the agreed upon implementation here.
We could use curator to use kafka zk /topics to check if the given topic
exists or not. The problem here is we are assuming that user always going to
give kafka zookeeper hosts which is not always true. User can just give kafka
broker hosts and storm zookeeper hosts for storing offset info. In this case
checking zk path for /topics won't work. Thats my concern about using zk path
check.
