The Logstash Kafka input plugin should have the ability to enable/disable the auto creation of topics from the Consumer (logstash).
Users who have enabled auto topic creation in Kafka so that topics are automatically created when a event is produced should also be allowed to enable OR disable the same from Logstash's end.
The downside of this autocreation function is that topics can also be created by a consumers. This makes it difficult to remove topics that no longer produce events. There wasn't a property for this in the logstash's Kafka input plugin documentation.
