> {quote}
> Enable auto creation of topic on the server. If this is set to true then attempts to produce, consume, or fetch metadata for a non-existent topic will automatically create it with the default replication factor and number of partitions.
> {quote}
> In Kafka 0.8.1.1 reality, topics are only created when trying to publish a message on non-existing topic.
> After [discussion|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201410.mbox/%3CCAFbh0Q1WXLUDO-im1fQ1yEvrMduxmXbj5HXVc3Cq8B%3DfeMso9g%40mail.gmail.com%3E] with [~junrao] conclusion was that it's documentation issue which needs to be fixed.
