> Key: KAFKA-5295
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5295
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1
> Reporter: Randall Hauch
> Assignee: Konstantine Karantasis
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip
>
> As of 0.11.0.0, Kafka Connect will be able to automatically create its
> internal topics using the new AdminClient (see KAFKA-4667). However, it still
> relies upon the broker auto-creating topics to which source connector records
> are written.
> Kafka Connect should use the AdminClient to explicitly create the new topics
> before writing the first source record to a new topic, and it should allow
> the connector the opportunity to customize the topic-specific settings for
> those new topics. As such, it will require a change in the public API
> (configs and/or framework) for source connectors and thus will require a KIP.
