• I searched in the issues and found nothing similar.

Motivation

The current Peek Messages API is under the Admin API with consume permissions. We needed the ability for non-admin applications to peek the topic partitions.

Solution

We propose adding a new endpoint to the Lookup API that leverages the internal implementation of the existing Peek Messages API. This enhancement will expose the Peek Messages functionality via the Lookup API, providing clients with an alternative access method. The internal logic of the Peek Messages API remains unchanged having minimal impact on existing functionalities.
