dajac opened a new pull request, #13848: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/13848
I have see failures like the following ones in a few builds: ``` Build / JDK 11 and Scala 2.13 / testDescribeSimpleConsumerGroup() – kafka.admin.DescribeConsumerGroupTest org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TopicExistsException: Topic '__consumer_offsets' already exists. ``` Many tests still use `TestUtils.createOffsetsTopic(zkClient, servers)` to create the offsets topic. This method does not handle the case where the topic exists (e.g. in the case of a retry). Instead of fixing it, I think that it is just better to use the admin client variant which is more reliable. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
