This means we need an additional flag "--bootstrap-server" to use AdminClient. KIP-377: TopicCommand to use AdminClient is already proposing a change to use AdminClient and introduce a "--bootstrap-server" option, so we can leverage the changes in KIP-377 for this KIP.

NOTE: This option is not supported with the deprecated "--zookeeper" option.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

As this change adds a new option instead of modifying existing ones, there will not be any compatibility issues or a migrationSince we rely on AdminClient for the computed "min.insync.replicas" configuration, this new option CANNOT be used with the deprecated "--zookeeper" option.

Rejected Alternatives

None so far.
