Martin M updated KAFKA-6006:
----------------------------
Description:
The replication factor should be set globally in server.properties such that it
can be applied by default to all topics/partitions even for topics that are not
auto-created. Having the configuration globally will allow consumers/producers
have the same setting.
One such situation is when consumers are distributed on different servers.
The AdminClient interface for creating a new topic would require a change to
request the default replication factor, either by changing the argument to
Short, thereby allowing null, or designating a special value, e.g. -1.
