rpk topic create
Create topics.
All topics created with this command will have the same number of partitions, replication factor, and key/value configs.
For example,
rpk topic create -c cleanup.policy=compact -r 3 -p 20 foo bar
will create two topics, foo and bar, each with 20 partitions, 3 replicas, and the cleanup.policy=compact config option set.
