Omnia Ibrahim updated KAFKA-15478:
----------------------------------
Description:
Connect uses AdminClients to create topics; while this simplifies the

* It creates conflict in use-cases where centralised systems or tools manage
Kafka resources.
It would be easier if customers could provide how they want to manage Kafka
topics through admin client or using their centralised system or tools.
