-------------------------------------
The AdminClient pull request, if someone wants an early start :)
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2472
> Kafka Connect's configuration topics should always be compacted
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5087
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5087
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Reporter: Gwen Shapira
> Priority: Critical
>
> New users frequently lose their connector configuration because they did not
> manually set the topic deletion policy to "compact". Not a good first
> experience with our system.
> 1. If the topics do not exist, Kafka Connect should create them with the
> correct configuration.
> 2. If the topics do exist, Kafka Connect should check their deletion policy
> and refuse to start if it isn't "compact"
> I'd love to do it (or have someone else do it) the moment the AdminClient is
> merged and to have it in 0.11.0.0.
