Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-4857:
------------------------------------
There are 2 changes here. One is to use AdminClient, which doesn't require a
KIP. The second is to update KafkaClientSupplier to include a method for the
AdminClient. That does require a tiny KIP. We may do both at the same time, but
it's not strictly required.
> Improve Client handling

> Key: KAFKA-4857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4857
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Assignee: Sharad
> Labels: needs-kip
>
> Streams uses {{KafkaClientSupplier}} to get
> consumer/restore-consumer/producer clients. Streams also uses one more client
> for admin purpose namely {{StreamsKafkaClient}} that is instantiated
> "manually".
> With the newly upcoming {{AdminClient}} from KIP-117, we can simplify (or
> even replace {{StreamsKafkaClient}} with the new {{AdminClient}}. We
> furthermore want to unify how the client in generated and extend
> {{KafkaClientSupplier}} with method that return this client.
> As this is a public API change, a KIP is required.
