Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1177: -------------------------------- Deleting topics is not supported yet. We have a jira (KAFKA-330) to track that. > DeleteTopics gives Successful message even if the specified Topic is not > present > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1177 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1177 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Environment: Centos 6.3 with jdk 1.6 and apache kafka 0.8 > Reporter: Siddhesh Sundar Toraskar > Priority: Minor > > I am implementating basic functionalities of kafka. I have created some java > classes for creating topics , a producer to send messages,a ConsumerGroup to > consume those messages and at last,a class for deleting topic. My other > functionalities are working normal but my class for deleting topic is not > working as required. The problems are: > 1. It is displaying 'deletion successful' for the topics not present. > 2. If a topic is deleted and then another topic with same name is created, > the messages from previous deleted topics are consumed.(This happens till I > dont restart the server). > So, is it required that everytime I delete a topic, I have to restart my > kafka server?.Or, there are some other solutions? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
