[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-5087) Kafka Connect's configuration topics should always be compacted

Gwen Shapira created KAFKA-5087:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Kafka Connect's configuration topics should always be compacted
                 Key: KAFKA-5087
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5087
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Gwen Shapira


New users frequently lose their connector configuration because they did not manually set the topic deletion policy to "compact". Not a good first experience with our system.

1. If the topics do not exist, Kafka Connect should create them with the correct configuration.
2. If the topics do exist, Kafka Connect should check their deletion policy and refuse to start if it isn't "compact"

I'd love to do it (or have someone else do it) the moment the AdminClient is merged and to have it in 0.11.0.0.
