Feature request: possibility to manage topics only

[mhbrk]

Hi,
It's a great tool.
It would be nice to have possibility to manage only kafka topics, without ACLs.

When I tried to plan config file with topics configuration I get this error:

[ERROR] Error thrown when attempting to list Kafka ACLs:
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.SecurityDisabledException: No Authorizer is configured on the broker
[ERROR] An error has occurred during the planning process. No plan was created.

Hmm, I will take a look into this. I've used it on clusters for only topic management but never had this exception come up.

This PR quickly fixes it.
I noticed that if you have security enabled, you won't be able to list ACLs using bootstrap servers. However another possibility would be to add a way to connect using Zookeeper and therefore not have this security error.
this works like be using the authorizer-properties and giving zookeeper host e.g.
$ /usr/local/bin/kafka-acls --list --authorizer-properties zookeeper.connect=zookeeper:2181

Hi @Cinetik I think this depends on the Kafka version that you use. At least it's possible now because I do it actually. ie:

kafka-acls --command-config /etc/kafka/secrets/ssl.properties --bootstrap-server server1:6667 --list

Best,
Jerome

@jrevillard I don't know your version but I'm on 2.6.0

I'm using kafka packaged by confluent (6.0.X) so 2.6.X also.

Sadly still doesn't fix the problem that kafka-gitops will fail without any of those :/

Actually closed the PR as it would remove the delete feature.
