Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-6692: ---------------------------------------- All internal topics are prefixed with the user specified {{application.id}}. It's "<application.id>-<someName>-repartition" and "<application.id>-<someName>-changelog". I am wondering it this is sufficient or not? What does adding two underscored improve? > Kafka Streams internal topics should be prefixed with an underscore > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-6692 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6692 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: streams > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Yeva Byzek > Priority: Major > > Issue: users cannot quickly/easily differentiate between their explicitly > created topics from internal topics that Kafka Streams uses, e.g. > {{*-changelog}} and {{*-repartition}} > > Proposed solution: Kafka Streams internal topics should be prefixed with an > underscore > Value add: ability to introspect kstreams and be able to *know* a set of > topics are associated with a topology.
