Elvar commented on KAFKA-2231: ------------------------------ Its very likely the solution in KAFKA-1194 regarding that the log retention policy fails because of locked files would either solve this automatically at best or that the same method could be applied here. > Deleting a topic fails > ---------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2231 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2231 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1 > Environment: Windows 8.1 > Reporter: James G. Haberly > Priority: Minor > > delete.topic.enable=true is in config\server.properties. > Using --list shows the topic "marked for deletion". > Stopping and restarting kafka and zookeeper does not delete the topic; it > remains "marked for deletion". > Trying to recreate the topic fails with "Topic XXX already exists". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
