Description

The field "config" in NewTopic is Map[String, String] but NewTopicBuilder#config accept the Map[String, Object] and then call Object#toString to convert the Map[String, Object] to Map[String, String]. That is weird since users have to trace the source code to understand how kafka generate the Map[String, String].

we should deprecate NewTopicBuilder#config(Map[String, Object]) and add an alternative method NewTopicBuilder#config"s"(Map[String, String])
