Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-12457:
---------------------------------------
[~jolshan] [~hachikuji] Just curious, are we going to generate uuid for other
internal topics (offset, txn) as well or use hard-coded sentinels, meaning
different clusters would have different ids for them?

> KIP-516 introduces topic IDs to Kafka. We are in the process of updating many
> of the protocols to support them. In most cases, we are dropping the topic
> name entirely from new API versions. I think there are two open questions for
> KIP-500 in regard to this:
> 1. Can we assume topic ID existence in KIP-500?
> I think the answer here is yes, and the existing code already assumes it. The
> nice thing is that KIP-516 brings with it the logic to create topic IDs for
> existing topics. We can rely on this ability in the bridge release to ensure
> that all topics have topic IDs. And we can add it to pre-upgrade validations.
> 2. What topic ID should be used for `@metadata`?
> There are basically two options for this: either use a sentinel topic ID or
> let the controller generate a new one and write it into a `TopicRecord` when
> the cluster first initializes. If we assume long term that we won't be able
> to use topic names in the inter-broker protocol, then a sentinel might really
> be a necessity since brokers would need to know the topic ID before they can
> send fetches. In other words, if we generate a unique ID, then we probably
> still need some sentinel so that followers can fetch the initial
> `TopicRecord` which contains the ID.
