Optionally disable creation of AdminClient bean

[visheshruparelia]

Feature description

We have a micronaut based application. It uses micronaut-kafka to leverage Kafka Streams. We keep seeing this error:
v1.0.0 t.n:kafka-admin-client-thread | adminclient-1 o.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient.handleDisconnections:937 | [AdminClient clientId=adminclient-1] Node -1 disconnected.
The reason for this is, we don't allow AdminClients in our envrionments and thus it keeps logging this message upto a point where going through logs is impossible as they are cluttered.

I see that this bean gets created by default if you are using any Kafka feature.
I would like to have an option where we can disable the creation of AdminClient.
For ex. something like:
@Requires(property = AbstractKafkaConfiguration.PREFIX + ".admin.enabled", value = "true", defaultValue = "true")

Or is there any other way I can disable this bean from getting created without patching the micronaut lib?
Thanks!

I added a class like this in my application, but it did not work.

@Replaces(AdminClientFactory.class)
@Factory
@Requires(property = AbstractKafkaConfiguration.PREFIX + ".adminClientEnabled", notEquals = StringUtils.FALSE, defaultValue = StringUtils.FALSE)
public class AdminClientFactoryOverride {
// Noop
}
