Kuan Po Tseng commented on KAFKA-16975: --------------------------------------- +1 on this, perhaps we can should set `Errors.INVALID_REQUEST.code` and refine the error message. [~chia7712] , I'm willing to solve this if you are not working on this one, thanks ! > The error message of creating `__cluster_metadata` should NOT be > "Authorization failed" > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-16975 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16975 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai > Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai > Priority: Minor > > The error message of creating "__cluster_metadata" by admin is "Authorization > failed.". That could confuse users that it implies you "can" create it in > using root. However, the fact is that we DISALLOW users to create it as a > regular topic even though you are the boss :) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
