------------------------------------
Summary: Allow Kafka Connect source connectors to specify
topic-specific settings for new topics
Key: KAFKA-5295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5295
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1
Reporter: Randall Hauch
Assignee: Randall Hauch
As of 0.11.0.0, Kafka Connect will be able to automatically create its internal
topics using the new AdminClient (see KAFKA-4667). However, it still relies
upon the broker auto-creating topics to which source connector records are
written.
Kafka Connect should use the AdminClient to explicitly create the new topics
before writing the first source record to a new topic, and it should allow the
connector the opportunity to customize the topic-specific settings for those
new topics. As such, it will require a change in the public API (configs and/or
framework) for source connectors and thus will require a KIP.
