Manikumar commented on KAFKA-2887: ---------------------------------- As of 0.11.0.0, We added a "allow_auto_topic_creation" flag to the topic meta data request (MetadataRequest) in KAFKA-5291. Also AdminCleint supports createTopic APIs. If this covers the JIRA requirement, then we can close this issue. > TopicMetadataRequest creates topic if it does not exist > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2887 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2887 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: clients > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0 > Environment: Centos6, Java 1.7.0_75 > Reporter: Andrew Winterman > Priority: Minor > > We wired up a probe http endpoint to make TopicMetadataRequests with a > possible topic name. If no topic was found, we expected an empty response. > However if we asked for the same topic twice, it would exist the second time! > I think this is a bug because the purpose of the TopicMetadaRequest is to > provide information about the cluster, not mutate it. I can provide example > code if needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
