KAFKA-5072[WIP]: Kafka topics should allow custom metadata configs within some config namespace @benstopford @ijuma @granthenke @junrao This change allows one to define any topic property within the namespace "metadata.*" - for e.g. metadata.description, metadata.project, metadata.contact.info, etc (More details on the JIRA) Raising a PR with [WIP] tag since I am not sure how to add this to the documentation given that the list of topic properties is auto-generated for the documentation.
