Hi Timothy, While we are on the subject, few questions/comments (based on the trunk implementation of delete topic command):
* After deleting a topic, I still see it when listing topics. Is the expected behavior? Should it disappear after some time? * When does the actual deletion gets triggered? * If I try to delete a topic twice I get a pretty confusing exception (Node exists from zkclient). It will be nice to catch this and say "Topic is being deleted" or something to this effect. * Even nicer if list topics command will mark topics as "being deleted". I'll probably open a separate Jira for the "nice" behavior, but interested in hearing your thoughts.
