The properties Dan is referring are auto.create.topics.enable
which is true by default and num.partitions which is 1 by default. They are both configuration parameters for the broker.

I could be wrong. We had to support that in one of our products, so I am pretty sure that's the default. You do need to be mindful of the default partition count though, which I think is one.

We have around 30 to 40 topics that need to be created on different envs . The intention is to make this process automated ,so looking for something like 'create topic if not exists' or similar by looking at a return code . Does something like this exist today ?. Thanks, Chinchu
