Description
**Describe the bug**
Configured the namespace to enable topic auto-creation, with partitioned topic type by default.
If your consumer/producer are directly connected to broker, your topic will be created corrected with default number of partitions.
If your consumer/producer are connected through the pulsar discovery node, then the topic is created as non-partitioned one.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Setup your pulsar cluster with proxy in front of your brokers.
2. Create a new namespace with the below configuration:
```
autoTopicCreationOverride:
allowAutoTopicCreation: true
topicType: partitioned
defaultNumPartitions: 16
autoSubscriptionCreationOverride:
allowAutoSubscriptionCreation: true
```
3. Use either java/go client to connect to pulsar discovery node. Produce a message to a non-exist topic of that namespace.
**Expected behavior**
A new topic created with 16 partitions
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue using a Pulsar proxy or discovery node, the shown autoTopicCreationOverride settings, and either the Java or Go client. Trace the discovery-node request path into topic auto-creation and compare it with direct broker access; done means a new topic receives the configured 16 partitions in both paths.
