KIP-757 — Topic metadata
Discussion AdminBroker
Proposes attaching arbitrary user-defined key-value metadata directly to Kafka topic definitions, stored and managed by the broker alongside topic configuration. Tracking topic metadata (ownership, SLA, description) currently requires an external database kept manually in sync with topic lifecycle events (creation, deletion by Streams/Connect/Admin).
