Hi, I have an application based on Kafka Streams. It reads from Kafka topic (I call this topic “input topic”). That topic has many partitions and their number varies based on the env in which application is running. I don’t want to create different input topics manually. Configuration of auto.create.topics.enable and num.partitions is not enough for me. The solution I am looking to implement is to check during application init whether the input topic exists and if not to create it with relevant partition number and replication factor.
I found the following example that uses kafka.admin.AdminUtils and it seems to be suitable: https://www.codota.com/code/java/methods/kafka.admin.AdminUtils/createTopic Please advise whether using AdminUtils is considered a good practice. Is AdminUtils functionality considered stable and reliable? If there are other solutions, I would appreciate to hear about them.
