[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-15478) Update connect to use ForwardingAdmin

Omnia Ibrahim created KAFKA-15478:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Update connect to use ForwardingAdmin
                 Key: KAFKA-15478
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15478
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Omnia Ibrahim


Connect uses AdminClients to create topics; while this simplifies the implementation of Connect it has the following problems 
 * It assumes that whoever runs Connect must have admin access to both source and destination clusters. This assumption is not necessarily valid all the time.
 * It creates conflict in use-cases where centralised systems or tools manage Kafka resources. 

It would be easier if customers could provide how they want to manage Kafka topics through admin client or using their centralised system or tools.
