> The new automatic internal topic creation always tries to check the topic and
> create it if missing. However, older brokers that we should still be
> compatible with don't support some requests that are used. This results in an
> UnsupportedVersionException which some of the TopicAdmin code notes that it
> can throw but then isn't caught in the initializers, causing the entire
> process to fail.
> We should probably just catch it, log a message, and allow things to proceed
> hoping that the user has already created the topics correctly (as we used to
> do).
