[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-2333) Add rename topic support

["Jay Kreps (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2333?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14628878#comment-14628878 ] 

Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-2333:
----------------------------------

Word. Probably does need a KIP, though.

Presumably the interface would be
  bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper xyz --topic old-name --rename new-name

I think the question is what the expected behavior is if there are existing producers and consumers for the topic with the old name when the rename occurs (presumably the answer is either that you get an error or the topic is recreated via auto-create depending on your settings).

> This likely needs an associated KIP. This Jira will be updated when one is created.
