raise Kafka::PolicyViolation error when creating topic

[xiaoronglv]

I have created a Kafka cluster in the confluent cloud. the cluster is in the us-west-2 of AWs.

Then I use ruby-kafka to create a new topic.

it raises Kafka::PolicyViolation error. what does that mean? how to fix it?

is it caused by compatibility or permission?

Any updates on this? @xiaoronglv Were you able to determine why this error was being thrown?

Nope, I haven't figured it out.

I used a stupid way to create the topic:

1. go to confluent's dashboard
2. create topics through their UI.

The error might be a confluent limitation. You'll need a dedicated cluster in order to create topics programmatically. The basic setup doesn't allow this
