----------------------------------
Summary: Implement "Auto Topic Creation" client side and remove
support from Broker side
Key: KAFKA-2410
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2410
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients, core
Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1
Reporter: Grant Henke
Assignee: Grant Henke
Auto topic creation on the broker has caused pain in the past; And today it
still causes unusual error handling requirements on the client side, added
complexity in the broker, mixed responsibility of the TopicMetadataRequest, and
limits configuration of the option to be cluster wide. In the future having it
broker side will also make features such as authorization very difficult.
There have been discussions in the past of implementing this feature client
side.

This Jira is to track that discussion and implementation once the necessary
protocol support exists: KAFKA-2229
