["Ismael Juma (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4857?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15993127#comment-15993127 ] 

Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-4857:
------------------------------------

There are 2 changes here. One is to use AdminClient, which doesn't require a KIP. The second is to update KafkaClientSupplier to include a method for the AdminClient. That does require a tiny KIP. We may do both at the same time, but it's not strictly required.

> Streams uses {{KafkaClientSupplier}} to get consumer/restore-consumer/producer clients. Streams also uses one more client for admin purpose namely {{StreamsKafkaClient}} that is instantiated "manually".
> With the newly upcoming {{AdminClient}} from KIP-117, we can simplify (or even replace {{StreamsKafkaClient}} with the new {{AdminClient}}. We furthermore want to unify how the client in generated and extend {{KafkaClientSupplier}} with method that return this client.
> As this is a public API change, a KIP is required.
