Make Kafka broadcast servers list as mandatory – Bug
GCP Dataflow Kafka to BigQuery template should be able to read the topics list from Cloud Storage OR BigQuery table prepopulated OR from text box input. One of them is mandatory – Bug
CREATE_IF_NEEDED should be the default disposition for not only topics tables but also for dead letter tables. – Bug
Unify the solution so that it is using reusable components. For example, datastream merging function may most probably applicable to JDBC, pub/sub, kafka, etc., sources.
One reusable component may be sufficient – Bug
