Otherwise, the topic cannot be created. Once the topic is created, you cannot modify its name. NOTE: A percent (%) or vertical bar (|) contained in a topic name will be converted to an underscore (_) by Cloud Eye. For example, if a topic name is test%01, it will be displayed as test_01 on Cloud Eye.
   Permission	Topic permission, which can be publish/subscribe, publish, or subscribe.
   Brokers	Specify the broker to create the topic on, and the number of queues in the topic.
