Ahmet AKYOL created KAFKA-1932: ---------------------------------- Summary: kafka topic (creation) templates Key: KAFKA-1932 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1932 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Wish Reporter: Ahmet AKYOL
AFAIK, the only way to create a Kafka topic (without using the default settings) is using the provided bash script. Even though, a client support could be nice, I would prefer to see a template mechanism similar to [Elasticsearch Index Templates|http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html] . What I have in my mind is very simple and adding something like this into server properties : template.name=pattern,numOfReplica,NumberOfPartition and pattern can only contain "*" meaning starts with, ends with or contains. example: template.logtopics=*_log,2,20 template.loaders=*_loader,1,5 so when the first time some producer sends a message to a topic that ends with "_logs" , kafka can use above settings. thanks in advance -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
