kafka主题删除_如何删除apache kafka中的主题

I need to delete a topic in kafka-0.8.2.2.3. I have used the below command for deleting the topic:

bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic DummyTopic

The command executed successfully but when I run a command to list the topics, I could see that the topic is still there and it shows marked for deletion.

bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181

DummyTopic - marked for deletion

And when I create the topic DummyTopic it outputs the exception, The topic already exists, below is the stack trace:

Error while executing topic command Topic "DummyTopic" already exists.

kafka.common.TopicExistsException: Topic "DummyTopic" already exists.

Please let me know how can I delete this topic.

Deletion of a topic has been supported since 0.8.2.x version. You have to enable topic deletion (setting delete.topic.enable to true) on all brokers first.

Follow this step by step process for manual deletion of topics

Stop Kafka server

Delete the topic directory with rm -rf command

Connect to Zookeeper instance: zookeeper-shell.sh host:port

ls /brokers/topics

Remove the topic folder from ZooKeeper using rmr /brokers/topics/yourtopic

Restart Kafka server

Confirm if it was deleted or not by using this command

kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper host:port
