if the answer is pointing out the 'chroot', as a word, it makes no difference. the result is the same:
kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181/chroot --delete --topic topic-3 gives the same: "Command must include exactly one action: --list, --describe, --create or --alter..." or should I write something instead of "chroot"?
