Hi, I'm using Kafka 0.8 which does not have a command to delete topic. However, I need the functionality and I'm trying to adopt this approach: https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/admin/DeleteTopicCommand.scala. I see it simply deletes the topic node from ZK. My question is what will happen with the topic data after removing the node? Will Kafka brokers be able to detect that topic does not exist anymore and purge its data?
Thanks, Yury
