> # {{KafkaSourceProvider}} supports {{topic}} option that sets the Kafka topic to save a DataFrame's rows to
> # {{KafkaSourceProvider}} can use {{topic}} column to assign rows to Kafka topics for writing
> What seems a quite interesting option is to support {{start(path: String)}} as the least precedence option in which {{path}} would designate the default topic when no other options are used.
> {code}
> df.writeStream.format("kafka").start("topic")
> {code}
