Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-5087:
----------------------------------------------

I think this is really part of the general "create internal topics 
automatically" issue that is already filed in KAFKA-4667. Going to close this 
as duplicate, but copy over some of the notes since compaction wasn't mentioned 
in that JIRA yet.

> Kafka Connect's configuration topics should always be compacted

> New users frequently lose their connector configuration because they did not 
> manually set the topic deletion policy to "compact". Not a good first 
> experience with our system.
> 1. If the topics do not exist, Kafka Connect should create them with the 
> correct configuration.
> 2. If the topics do exist, Kafka Connect should check their deletion policy 
> and refuse to start if it isn't "compact"
> I'd love to do it (or have someone else do it) the moment the AdminClient is 
> merged and to have it in 0.11.0.0.
