interacting with kafka over http

Elasticsearch seems to have a near full API feature set over http - for example, indices can be created via a PUT request.

Is it currently possible to do the analogous and create a topic, via a http request, in Kafka?

kafka-manager has a rich REST API feature-set, including admin features, with a list of all the API routes here.

There is no out of the box Kafka Admin REST API. In Kafka 0.11 there is a Java AdminClient API so someone can write such an interface as a tool external to the standard Apache Kafka distribution.
