I'm trying to use sarama (Admin mode) to create a topic. Without the ConfigEntries works fine. But I need to define some configs.
I set up the topic config (Here is happening the error):
tConfigs := map[string]*string{
"cleanup.policy": "delete",
"delete.retention.ms": "36000000",
}
But then I get an error:
./main.go:99:28: cannot use "delete" (type string) as type *string in map value
./main.go:100:28: cannot use "36000000" (type string) as type *string in map value
I'm trying to use the admin mode like this:
err = admin.CreateTopic(t.Name, &sarama.TopicDetail{
NumPartitions: 1,
ReplicationFactor: 3,
ConfigEntries: tConfigs,
}, false)
Here is the line from the sarama module that defines CreateTopic() https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/blob/master/admin.go#L18
Basically, I didn't understand how the map of pointers strings works :)
