Kafka topic rename

brajeshreddy — Fri, 18 May 2018 15:47:38 GMT

Hi,

We are using kafka 0.11. Recently we had an issue with one of our topics and had to delete and recreate the topic. Is there a way to rename the topic or clone?

AFAIK we don't have any option to rename the topic in Kafka.

There is no such support for renaming

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2333

If you want to clone, then use MirrorMaker

Is there a way to have MirrorMaker rename the topic on mirroring? e.g. consume topic as named A, produce it as named B.

It looks like you can with more recent versions of kafka for rename while mirroring: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3841
