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?

>                 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.  This can help downstream tooling to 
> do cool visualizations and tracking
