--------------------------------
Reviewer: Neha Narkhede
> 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 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?
