Ok, This is a feature I've been hoping for, so I added an upvote to Kafka-330. But I will defer to you in terms of not wanting to delay 0.8 unnecessarily.
Will we still have a backhanded way to remove a topic if need be? Ultimately, I'd like to see the feature where a topic automatically is created on receipt of a new message, and that topic will then automatically become deleted after a configurable period of inactivity. In otherwords, auto-creation and auto-deletion. Jason On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 11:35 AM, Jun Rao <jun...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We started the work on deleting topics in 0.8 (kafka-330).
