java - KafkaProducer: How to raise and catch UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION error? - Stack Overflow

I have Kafka with disabled topic auto creation. All topics must be created with external API. And I want to implement topic auto creation =)

try { producer.send(...) } catch (UnknownTopicException e) { ... external API call ... }

By default, KafkaProducer do not throw exception on send to unknown topic. Only logs endlessly UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION errors:

[kafka-producer-network-thread | producer-1] WARN .apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient - [Producer clientId=producer-1] Error while fetching metadata with correlation id 1 : {unknown_topic=UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION}

I fix this with decreasing max.block.ms configuration. Now KafkaProducer don't retry before thrown the exception:

import .apache.kafka.clients.producer.*;
import .apache.kafkamon.serialization.StringSerializer;

import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "***:9092");
        properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class.getName());
        properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class.getName());
        properties.setProperty("max.block.ms", "0");

        try (var producer = new KafkaProducer<String, String>(properties)) {
            System.out.println("recordMetadata: " + producer.send(new ProducerRecord<>("unknown_topic", "hello world")).get());
        } catch (ExecutionException | InterruptedException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

This doesn't seem to be the best solution. What other options are there?

The best option to check if the topic exists is to call AdminClient before any call.

It has this method: describeTopics. That method throws the UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION exception, so the way to go is to catch it.

https://kafka.apache./23/javadoc//apache/kafka/clients/admin/AdminClient.html#describeTopics-java.util.Collection-.apache.kafka.clients.admin.DescribeTopicsOptions-

You could just modify your try block:

//...

    try (var adminClient = AdminClient.create(properties);
         var producer = new KafkaProducer<String, String>(properties)) 
    {
        
        if (topicExists(adminClient, "yourTopic")) 
        {
          System.out.println("recordMetadata: " + producer.send(new ProducerRecord<>("yourTopic", "hi!")).get());
        //...
        } 
         else //well, it doesn't exist as we catched the exception and returned false
        {
           //your non-topic logic here.
        }
    
      //...  
    } catch (ExecutionException | InterruptedException e) {
             throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
//...

private boolean topicExists(AdminClient adminClient, String topic) 
{
   try 
   {
      DescribeTopicsResult result = adminClient.describeTopics(java.util.List.of(topic));
      result.all().get();
      return true; //OK, it exists
    }
    catch (ExecutionException e) 
    {
      if (e.getCause() instanceof UnknownTopicOrPartitionException) 
         return false; //catch the false -- UnknownTopicOrPartition means it doesnt exist
      else 
         throw new RuntimeException(e);
    } 
 }

Thank @aran for this hint with describeTopics(). Write this decorator for KafkaProducer. Redirect records to backoff-topic, If destination topic is unknown or creation is requested a short time ago

Not sure what will happen if the described topic is deleted
