Managing topics using Automation Script

You can perform a full set of topic management operations using Kafka Magic Automation Script.

Topic management example:

var topic = Magic.createTopic('My cluster name', 'my_new_topic_name');

// delete topic
topic.delete();

With Automation Script you can also register an Avro schema for the topic.
