             Summary: Introduce a new Interface to manage Kafka resources in MM2
                 Key: KAFKA-13401
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13401
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: mirrormaker
            Reporter: Omnia Ibrahim


MM2 uses AdminClients to create and modify topics; while this simplifies the implementation of MM2 it has the following problems 
 * It assumes that whoever runs MM2 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 and configs through admin client or using their centralised system or tools.
