Consumer Question

If you have a consumer listening on a topic and that topic is deleted is 
the consumer made aware -- perhaps by some exception -- or does it 
continue listening, blissfully unaware that it will never hear anything 
more?

Thanks, 

Chris

Thank you, but that is not the question I asked.  If a topic exists and a 
consumer is listening -- and then the topic is deleted -- does the 
consumer get some sort of notification that the topic is now gone, perhaps 
an exception?

Hi Chris,

We should also ensure that auto.create.topics.enable is set to true.

Thank you,

Hi Chris,

If the topic not exist, it will create a new topic with the name which you
give.

Thanks,
