Description

Topic config change as well as create-topic, add-partition, partition-reassignment and preferred leader election are all asynchronous in the sense that the admin command would return immediately and one has to check himself if the process has finished. It is better to add an option to make these commands blocking until the process is done.

Also, it would be good to order admin tasks in order so that they can be executed sequentially in logic.
