> StreamsResetter deletes the topics considered internal. Currently it just
> checks the naming as per
> [code|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/1aae604861068bb7337d4972c9dcc0c0a99c374d/core/src/main/scala/kafka/tools/StreamsResetter.java#L660].
> If assumption is wrong (either topic prefix or suffix), tool becomes useless
> if aware even dangerous if not. Probably better either:
> * naming assumption should be optional and supply internal topics with
> argument (--internal-topics)
> * deletion could be optional (--no-delete-internal)
> * ignore topics which are included in list of --input-topics
> Faced this, when was trying to reset applications with GlobalKTable topics
> named as *-changelog. Such topics sometimes are not desirable for deletion.
