Using these configs:
auto.create.tables: "true"
auto.create.tables.replicated: "true"
if the database doesn't exist, it will be created, but only on the single replica that the connector is connected to. It would be great to auto-create the database on all replicas in the shard, so that the replicated tables are set up correctly afterwards.
Currently this displays an error message per replica with "database not exist" errors when the replicated tables are being created.
Probably a conditional ON CLUSTER {cluster} clause in the cluster creation query could fix this.
