>
> Update Ranger KafkaClient to use Kafka AdminClient API instead of Zookeeper.
> This would have the following benefits:
> * Security: all Kafka commands are channeled and authorized through the
> broker instead of direct Zookeeper data manipulation. When topics are
> generated via Zookeeper, it might happen that even Kafka cannot access to the
> metadata due to ZK ACLs.
> * Simplicity/maintainability: the interface of Kafka becomes smaller and
> there is no need to expose Kafka's own Zookeeper quorum but kept as an
> implementation detail for storing metadata.
> * Compatibility: zookeeper in Apache Kafka will be removed in a future
> version.
