Runtime Topic Resolution

Kafka Producer can write a record to the topic based on an expression. When Kafka Producer evaluates a record, it calculates the expression based on record values and writes the record to the resulting topic.

When performing runtime topic resolution, Kafka Producer can write to any topic by default. You can create a white list of topics to limit the number of topics Kafka Producer attempts to use. When you create a white list, any record that resolves to an unlisted topic is sent to the stage for error handling. Use a white list when record data might resolve to invalid topic names.
