Hi, >From the CreateTopicRequest protocol documentation here ( https://kafka.apache.org/protocol#The_Messages_CreateTopics), it looks like we can set numPartitions=-1 and replicationFactor=-1 to unset it. My understanding is that if I set the values as those (-1), then the topic will be created with the default (kafka configuration) number of partitions and the default replication factor.
However, when I send a message to create topics as explained above, I get the following error: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.InvalidPartitionsException: number of partitions must be larger than 0 Any idea what I might doing wrong? Is my understanding of the protocol incorrect? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. -Vineet
