David Arthur commented on KAFKA-689:
------------------------------------
I don't disagree really, but what I'm saying is: why not piggyback topic
creation onto the metadata API?
Instead of:
MetadataRequest => Topic
Topic => Name [Topic]
you could have:
MetadataRequest => Topic
Topic => Name CreateIfNotExist [Topic]
It would be a lot less code than a whole new API.
> Can't append to a topic/partition that does not already exist

> Key: KAFKA-689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-689
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: David Arthur
> Attachments: kafka.log, produce-payload.bin
>
>
> With a totally fresh Kafka (empty logs dir and empty ZK), if I send a
> ProduceRequest for a new topic, Kafka responds with
> "kafka.common.UnknownTopicOrPartitionException: Topic test partition 0
> doesn't exist on 0". This is when sending a ProduceRequest over the network
> (from Python, in this case).
> If I use the console producer it works fine (topic and partition get
> created). If I then send the same payload from before over the network, it
> works.
