Description
Connect uses AdminClients to create topics; while this simplifies the implementation of Connect it has the following problems
- It assumes that whoever runs Connect must have admin access to both source and destination clusters. This assumption is not necessarily valid all the time.
- It creates conflict in use-cases where centralised systems or tools manage Kafka resources.
It would be easier if customers could provide how they want to manage Kafka topics through admin client or using their centralised system or tools.
We already have ForwardingAdmin in MM2 so we can extend connect to do something similiar
