-------------------------------
Summary: Garbage Collect obsolete topics
Key: KAFKA-560
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-560
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jay Kreps
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 tool that could delete any
topic that had not been written to in a configurable period of time. 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?
