While running kafka in production I found an issue where a topic wasn't getting created even with auto topic enabled. I then went ahead and created the topic manually (from the command line). I then delete the topic, again manually. Now my broker won't allow me to either create *the* topic or delete *the* topic. (other topic creation and deletion is working fine).
The topic is in "marked for deletion" stage for more than 3 hours. $ bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper zookeeper1:2181/replication/kafka --list --topic GRIFFIN-TldAdFormat.csv-1422321736886 GRIFFIN-TldAdFormat.csv-1422321736886 - marked for deletion If this is a known issue, is there a workaround?
