When ia created topic visible?

[F21 <f2...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I working on a Go program that needs to create topics and consume 
messages from kafka. Currently, I am creating a topic by setting up the 
appropriate nodes in zookeeper.

Once the changes are committed to zookeeper, how long does it take for 
kafka to see the topic? I am noticing in my  code (using Shopify's 
Sarama library) that I need to add a delay of a second or 2 after topic 
creation in order to get the topic returned when listing topics.

Thanks!

Francis
