Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-2333: ---------------------------------- [~gwenshap] Yeah totally, agree it will be tricky. The name is shared across the directory, zk, the checkpoint files, and the offset commit topic. You are probably right that the idea thing would be to have a topic id which is unique and associated name which is just in zk but that itself is a pretty massive change since none of these persistent formats are that way now. > Add rename topic support > ------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-2333 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2333 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Grant Henke > Assignee: Grant Henke > > Add the ability to change the name of existing topics. > This likely needs an associated KIP.
