             Summary: kafka topic (creation) templates
                 Key: KAFKA-1932
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1932
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Ahmet AKYOL


AFAIK, the only way to create a Kafka topic (without using the default settings) is using the provided bash script.

Even though, a client support could be nice, I would prefer to see a template mechanism similar to [Elasticsearch Index Templates|http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html] . 

What I have in my mind is very simple and adding something like this into server properties :

template.name=pattern,numOfReplica,NumberOfPartition

and pattern can only contain "*" meaning starts with, ends with or contains.

example:
template.logtopics=*_log,2,20
template.loaders=*_loader,1,5

so when the first time some producer sends a message to a topic that ends with "_logs" , kafka can use above settings.

thanks in advance
