Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2887: ---------------------------------------- [~AWinterman] Agreed. I added a note on the wiki just now. Can you close the ticket? > 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)
