Summary: TopicMetadataRequest creates topic if it does not exist Key: KAFKA-2887 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2887 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: clients Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0 Environment: Centos6, Java 1.7.0_75 Reporter: Andrew Winterman Priority: Minor We wired up a probe http endpoint to make TopicMetadataRequests with a possible topic name. If no topic was found, we expected an empty response. However if we asked for the same topic twice, it would exist the second time! I think this is a bug because the purpose of the TopicMetadaRequest is to provide information about the cluster, not mutate it. I can provide example code if needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
