    Limitations

    Topic Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The Topic resource accepts the following input properties:

    ClusterApiUrl string
    The cluster API URL. Changing this will prevent deletion of the resource on the existing cluster. It is generally a better idea to delete an existing resource and create a new one than to change this value unless you are planning to do state imports
    AllowDeletion bool
    Indicates whether the topic can be deleted.
    Configuration Dictionary<string, string>
    A map of string key/value pairs of topic configurations.
    Name string
    The name of the topic.
    PartitionCount double
    The number of partitions for the topic. This determines how the data is distributed across brokers. Increases are fully supported without data loss. Decreases will destroy and recreate the topic if allow_deletion is set to true (defaults to false).
    ReplicationFactor double
    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.
    ClusterApiUrl string

    Configuration map[string]string
    A map of string key/value pairs of topic configurations.
    Name string
    The name of the topic.
    PartitionCount float64

    ReplicationFactor float64
    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.

    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.
    cluster_api_url str
    The cluster API URL. Changing this will prevent deletion of the resource on the existing cluster. It is generally a better idea to delete an existing resource and create a new one than to change this value unless you are planning to do state imports
    allow_deletion bool
    Indicates whether the topic can be deleted.
    configuration Mapping[str, str]
    A map of string key/value pairs of topic configurations.
    name str
    The name of the topic.
    partition_count float
    The number of partitions for the topic. This determines how the data is distributed across brokers. Increases are fully supported without data loss. Decreases will destroy and recreate the topic if allow_deletion is set to true (defaults to false).
    replication_factor float
    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.

    Outputs

    All input properties are implicitly available as output properties. Additionally, the Topic resource produces the following output properties:

    Id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    Id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id String
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    id str

    id String
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.

    Indicates whether the topic can be deleted.
    clusterApiUrl string
    The cluster API URL. Changing this will prevent deletion of the resource on the existing cluster. It is generally a better idea to delete an existing resource and create a new one than to change this value unless you are planning to do state imports
    configuration {[key: string]: string}
    A map of string key/value pairs of topic configurations.
    name string
    The name of the topic.
    partitionCount number
    The number of partitions for the topic. This determines how the data is distributed across brokers. Increases are fully supported without data loss. Decreases will destroy and recreate the topic if allow_deletion is set to true (defaults to false).
    replicationFactor number
    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.
    allow_deletion bool
    Indicates whether the topic can be deleted.
    cluster_api_url str
    The cluster API URL. Changing this will prevent deletion of the resource on the existing cluster. It is generally a better idea to delete an existing resource and create a new one than to change this value unless you are planning to do state imports
    configuration Mapping[str, str]
    A map of string key/value pairs of topic configurations.
    name str
    The name of the topic.
    partition_count float
    The number of partitions for the topic. This determines how the data is distributed across brokers. Increases are fully supported without data loss. Decreases will destroy and recreate the topic if allow_deletion is set to true (defaults to false).
    replication_factor float
    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.
    allowDeletion Boolean
    Indicates whether the topic can be deleted.
    clusterApiUrl String
    The cluster API URL. Changing this will prevent deletion of the resource on the existing cluster. It is generally a better idea to delete an existing resource and create a new one than to change this value unless you are planning to do state imports
    configuration Map<String>
    A map of string key/value pairs of topic configurations.
    name String
    The name of the topic.
    partitionCount Number
    The number of partitions for the topic. This determines how the data is distributed across brokers. Increases are fully supported without data loss. Decreases will destroy and recreate the topic if allow_deletion is set to true (defaults to false).
    replicationFactor Number
    The replication factor for the topic, which defines how many copies of the data are kept across different brokers for fault tolerance.
