you can set default.replication.factor config property, This property is
used to
set default replication factor for auto created topics.
I have a broker cluster configured with auto.create.topics.enable=true.
Observing tcpdump output while using kafka-console-producer.sh to
send a message with a previously nonexistent topic, it appears that
the producer instructs the broker to create the topic by sending a
metadata request for that
