KIP-4 - CreateTopics API

[doron-levi]

Is this exposed via the python API?

[edenhill]

The metadata() API to gather broker and topic metadata information is not yet exposed in the Python bindings. This is on the roadmap, issue #161.

The APIs to create and manipulate topics, as defined in KIP-4, are not yet implemented.

However, if your broker is configured with automatic topic creation (auto.create.topics.enable=true) you can create the topic from the client by simply producing to it.

OK, thanks for us auto.create.topics.enable=false... I will handle topic creation elsewhere, I wish there where more examples or more docs about the configuration dict option that is passed in the Producer\Consumer constructor

[edenhill]

Is there a particular subject/use-case with regards to the configuration dict that you are interested in?

fixed with #382
