"Topic Created" event

[Karan Gupta <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am learning how to use kafka as my personal project.
I was wondering if there is a "topic created" event that kafka or zookeeper
sends such that a simple scala/java program can listen to. I was not able
to find any documentation on that.

Thanks for any advice :)

Wonder if you can listen to the zkPath for topics via a zk watch (
https://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.3.3/api/org/apache/zookeeper/Watcher.html)
to let you know when the structure of the tree changes (ie, add/remove)?

The zkPath for topics is "/brokers/topics"

HTH!
