Sriharsha Chintalapani commented on KAFKA-1507: ----------------------------------------------- [~nehanarkhede] this is the side effect of auto.create.topics.enable set to true by default. KafkaApis.handleTopicMetadataRequest checks for above config and creates a topic. Do we need to create a topic in TopicMetadataRequest. I don't see anywhere else we are using this but I am not sure if any other outside lib using this api to create a topic. > Using GetOffsetShell against non-existent topic creates the topic > unintentionally > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1507 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1507 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1 > Environment: centos > Reporter: Luke Forehand > Assignee: Sriharsha Chintalapani > Priority: Minor > Labels: newbie > > A typo in using GetOffsetShell command can cause a > topic to be created which cannot be deleted (because deletion is still in > progress) > ./kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list > kafka10:9092,kafka11:9092,kafka12:9092,kafka13:9092 --topic typo --time 1 > ./kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper stormqa1/kafka-prod --describe --topic typo > Topic:typo PartitionCount:8 ReplicationFactor:1 Configs: > Topic: typo Partition: 0 Leader: 10 Replicas: 10 > Isr: 10 > ... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
