I am trying to find if there is a supported API to delete topic (from within my code) specifically in 0.8.2. One method that I can think of is calling kafka.admin.TopicCommand.main with the same parameters as one gives on the command line. Is this the recommended way or is there a better way of doing it?
Furthermore, are the details of deleting a topic in 0.8.2 documented, since I would like to understand if delete topic only deletes the topic in zookeeper or it also cleans the logs in kafka broker as well. Sumit
