Motivation

As stated in KIP-108, the operators of a Kafka cluster need to validate users' self-service topic creation and deletion.

...

This KIP was created based on work done with Mickael Maison

Public Interfaces

New Java interfaces in the client project corresponding to pluggable policies :

DeleteTopics Response (Version: 1) => [topic_error_codes] 
  topic_error_codes => topic error_code error_message
    topic => STRING
