Description

Currently, 'kafka_topic' defines its 'topic' attribute as an unique attribute. It negatively affects use-cases that requires managing multiple Kafka clusters in a single Atlas. Even if user specifies different cluster name to 'kafka_topic' qualified name, Atlas seems using 'topic' to identify an entity.

For example, sending a POST request to Atlas entity API to create one, if there's an existing 'kafka_topic' with the same 'topic', Atlas updates the existing entity instead of creating new one.
