Hey Chinchu,
There's a --if-not-exists option on the kafka-topics script in the
confluent platform.
Here's the docs from confluent-3.0.0/bin/kafka-topics --help:
--if-not-exists if set when creating topics, the
action will only execute if the
topic does not already exist
Let me know if that works for you.
Best,
Andrew
