Jay Kreps updated KAFKA-560:
----------------------------
Description:
Old junk topics tend to accumulate over time. Code may migrate to use new
topics leaving the old ones orphaned. Likewise there are some use cases for
temporary transient topics. It would be good to have a tool that could delete
any topic that had not been written to in a configurable period of time and had
no active consumer groups. Something like
./bin/delete-unused-topics.sh --last-write [date] --zookeeper [zk_connect]
This requires API support to get the last update time. I think it may be
possible to do this through the OffsetRequest now?
