[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-5291) AdminClient should not trigger auto creation of topics

Ismael Juma created KAFKA-5291:
----------------------------------

             Summary: AdminClient should not trigger auto creation of topics
                 Key: KAFKA-5291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5291
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Ismael Juma
            Assignee: Ismael Juma


Feedback from people who tried the AdminClient is that auto topic creation during describe is very confusing. We expected that, but we also thought that there wasn't much that could be done.

However, there's a simple solution (suggested by [~hachikuji]): make it possible to disallow auto topic creation when sending the metadata request. We can keep the existing behaviour for the producer and consumer (until we move to client-side auto topic creation) while doing the right thing for AdminClient (which is new).
