How to Kafka topic clone.

[#1]

Can we clone single Kafka topic? If yes then how?

[#2]

At the basics, you would write a producer that consumes from one topic and produces to another.

MirrorMaker is what you are looking for.

Thank you for sharing the URL. I am looking for topic cloning within the same cluster. Can we do this.

Yes, MirrorMaker is not putting a limitation on remote vs local cluster. It is designed for remote clusters because there is almost no need to do it locally. If you are mirroring a topic locally, you must rename it, and if you are going to rename it, then you have consumers/producers using data in both topics?

You are replicating data within the same cluster for little gain while your consumers/producers can easily be configured to use the correct topic(s).
