:::

Pulsar has persistent and non-persistent topics. A persistent topic is a logical endpoint for publishing and consuming messages. The topic name structure for persistent topics is:

```shell
persistent://tenant/namespace/topic
```

Non-persistent topics are used in applications that only consume real-time published messages and do not need persistent guarantees. In this way, it reduces message-publish latency by removing overhead of persisting messages. The topic name structure for non-persistent topics is:

```shell
non-persistent://tenant/namespace/topic
```

:::note

Topic naming: due to backward compatibility, some special characters, e.g., "/," are allowed as a part of the topic name. But it's recommended not to use special characters as a part of the topic name.

:::

## Manage topic resources
Whether it is a persistent or non-persistent topic, you can obtain the topic resources through `pulsar-admin` tool, REST API and Java.

:::note

In REST API, `:schema` stands for persistent or non-persistent. `:tenant`, `:namespace`, `:x` are variables, replace them with the real tenant, namespace, and `x` names when using them.
Take [](swagger:/admin/v2/PersistentTopics_getList) as an example, to get the list of persistent topics in REST API, use `https://pulsar.apache.org/admin/v2/persistent/my-tenant/my-namespace`. To get the list of non-persistent topics in REST API, use `https://pulsar.apache.org/admin/v2/non-persistent/my-tenant/my-namespace`.

:::

### List of topics

## Manage non-partitioned topics
You can use Pulsar [admin API](admin-api-overview.md) to create, delete and check the status of non-partitioned topics.

### Create
Non-partitioned topics must be explicitly created. When creating a new non-partitioned topic, you need to provide a name for the topic.

By default, 60 seconds after creation, topics are considered inactive and deleted automatically to avoid generating trash data. To disable this feature, set `brokerDeleteInactiveTopicsEnabled` to `false`. To change the frequency of checking inactive topics, set `brokerDeleteInactiveTopicsFrequencySeconds` to a specific value.

For more information about the two parameters, see [here](reference-configuration.md#broker).

You can create non-partitioned topics in the following ways.

````mdx-code-block
<Tabs groupId="api-choice"
  defaultValue="pulsar-admin"
  values={[{"label":"pulsar-admin","value":"pulsar-admin"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java","value":"Java"}]}>
<TabItem value="pulsar-admin">

When you create non-partitioned topics with the [`create`](/reference/#/@pulsar:version_reference@/pulsar-admin/topics?id=create) command, you need to specify the topic name as an argument.

```shell
pulsar-admin topics create \
    persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic
```

:::note

When you create a non-partitioned topic with the suffix '-partition-' followed by numeric value like 'xyz-topic-partition-x' for the topic name, if a partitioned topic with same suffix 'xyz-topic-partition-y' exists, then the numeric value(x) for the non-partitioned topic must be larger than the number of partitions(y) of the partitioned topic. Otherwise, you cannot create such a non-partitioned topic.

## Manage partitioned topics
You can use Pulsar [admin API](admin-api-overview.md) to create, update, delete and check the status of partitioned topics.

### Create

When creating a new partitioned topic, you need to provide a name and the number of partitions for the topic.

:::note

By default, if there are no messages 60 seconds after creation, topics are considered inactive and deleted automatically to avoid generating trash data. To disable this feature, set `brokerDeleteInactiveTopicsEnabled` to `false`. To change the frequency of checking inactive topics, set `brokerDeleteInactiveTopicsFrequencySeconds` to a specific value.

:::

For more information about the two parameters, see [here](reference-configuration.md#broker).

You can create partitioned topics in the following ways.

````mdx-code-block
<Tabs groupId="api-choice"
  defaultValue="pulsar-admin"
  values={[{"label":"pulsar-admin","value":"pulsar-admin"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java","value":"Java"}]}>
<TabItem value="pulsar-admin">

When you create partitioned topics with the [`create-partitioned-topic`](/reference/#/@pulsar:version_reference@/pulsar-admin/topics?id=create-partitioned-topic) command, you need to specify the topic name as an argument and the number of partitions using the `-p` or `--partitions` flag.

```shell
pulsar-admin topics create-partitioned-topic \
    persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic \
    --partitions 4
```

:::note

If a non-partitioned topic with the suffix '-partition-' followed by a numeric value like 'xyz-topic-partition-10', you can not create a partitioned topic with name 'xyz-topic', because the partitions of the partitioned topic could override the existing non-partitioned topic. To create such partitioned topic, you have to delete that non-partitioned topic first.

### Create missed partitions

When topic auto-creation is disabled, and you have a partitioned topic without any partitions, you can use the [`create-missed-partitions`](/reference/#/@pulsar:version_reference@/pulsar-admin/topics?id=create-missed-partitions) command to create partitions for the topic.

````mdx-code-block

### Get metadata

Partitioned topics are associated with metadata, you can view it as a JSON object. The following metadata field is available.

Field | Description
:-----|:-------
`partitions` | The number of partitions into which the topic is divided.

````mdx-code-block
<Tabs groupId="api-choice"
  defaultValue="pulsar-admin"
  values={[{"label":"pulsar-admin","value":"pulsar-admin"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java","value":"Java"}]}>
<TabItem value="pulsar-admin">

You can check the number of partitions in a partitioned topic with the [`get-partitioned-topic-metadata`](/reference/#/@pulsar:version_reference@/pulsar-admin/topics?id=get-partitioned-topic-metadata) subcommand.

```shell
pulsar-admin topics get-partitioned-topic-metadata \
    persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic
```

Example output:

```json
{
  "partitions" : 4,
  "deleted" : false
}
```

```

</TabItem>

</Tabs>
````

### Update

You can update the number of partitions for an existing partitioned topic. However, you can only increase the number of partitions. Decrementing the number of partitions would delete the topic, which is not supported in Pulsar.

Producers and consumers can find the newly created partitions automatically.

### Internal stats

You can check the detailed statistics of a partitioned topic. The following is an example. For the description of each internal topic stats, see [Pulsar statistics](administration-stats.md#topic-internal-stats).

```json
{
  "entriesAddedCounter": 20449518,
  "numberOfEntries": 3233,
  "totalSize": 331482,
  "currentLedgerEntries": 3233,
  "currentLedgerSize": 331482,
  "lastLedgerCreatedTimestamp": "2016-06-29 03:00:23.825",
  "lastLedgerCreationFailureTimestamp": null,
  "waitingCursorsCount": 1,
  "pendingAddEntriesCount": 0,
  "lastConfirmedEntry": "324711539:3232",
  "state": "LedgerOpened",
  "ledgers": [
    {
      "ledgerId": 324711539,
      "entries": 0,
      "size": 0
    }
  ],
  "cursors": {
    "my-subscription": {
      "markDeletePosition": "324711539:3133",
      "readPosition": "324711539:3233",
      "waitingReadOp": true,
      "pendingReadOps": 0,
      "messagesConsumedCounter": 20449501,
      "cursorLedger": 324702104,
      "cursorLedgerLastEntry": 21,
      "individuallyDeletedMessages": "[(324711539:3134‥324711539:3136], (324711539:3137‥324711539:3140], ]",
      "lastLedgerSwitchTimestamp": "2016-06-29 01:30:19.313",
      "state": "Open"
    }
  }
}
```

You can get the internal stats for the partitioned topic in the following ways.

````mdx-code-block
<Tabs groupId="api-choice"
  defaultValue="pulsar-admin"
  values={[{"label":"pulsar-admin","value":"pulsar-admin"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java","value":"Java"}]}>
<TabItem value="pulsar-admin">

```shell
pulsar-admin topics partitioned-stats-internal \
    persistent://test-tenant/namespace/topic
```

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="REST API">

[](swagger:/admin/v2/PersistentTopics_getPartitionedStatsInternal)

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Java">

```java
admin.topics().getPartitionedInternalStats(topic);
```

## Manage subscriptions

You can use [Pulsar admin API](admin-api-overview.md) to create, check, and delete subscriptions.

### Create subscription

You can create a subscription for a topic using one of the following methods.

````mdx-code-block
<Tabs groupId="api-choice"
  defaultValue="pulsar-admin"
  values={[{"label":"pulsar-admin","value":"pulsar-admin"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java","value":"Java"}]}>

<TabItem value="pulsar-admin">

```shell
pulsar-admin topics create-subscription \
    --subscription my-subscription \
    persistent://test-tenant/ns1/tp1
```

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="REST API">

[](swagger:/admin/v2/PersistentTopics_createSubscription)

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Java">

```java
String topic = "persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic";
String subscriptionName = "my-subscription";
admin.topics().createSubscription(topic, subscriptionName, MessageId.latest);
```

</TabItem>

</Tabs>
````

### Get subscription

You can check all subscription names for a given topic using one of the following methods.

````mdx-code-block
<Tabs groupId="api-choice"
  defaultValue="pulsar-admin"
  values={[{"label":"pulsar-admin","value":"pulsar-admin"},{"label":"REST API","value":"REST API"},{"label":"Java","value":"Java"}]}>

<TabItem value="pulsar-admin">

```shell
pulsar-admin topics subscriptions persistent://test-tenant/ns1/tp1
```

Example output:

```
my-subscription
```

</TabItem>
