Thanks Viktor,but you may misunderstand what I mean,when I send a topicMetadataRequest for a none existed topic,Kafka server can auto create the topic ,but it take time before I can get the metadata of the new topic,so if look up zookeeper to make sure the topic is created.and my question still why not provide a create topic API? Thanks
---Sent from Boxer | http://getboxer.com Why do you want to get topic list from zookeeper? As alternative you can send TopicMetadataRequest to SimpleConsumer and get TopicMetadataResponse that contains list of topics.
