Hello, I am having the following problem trying to delete a topic.
The topic was auto-created with a default.replication.factor = 1, but my test cluster has only 1 machine, so now when I start kafka I get this error ERROR [KafkaApi-0] error when handling request Name: TopicMetadataRequest; Version: 0; CorrelationId: 762828; ClientId: adee54ba-d952-43a8-a19d-f05ce9a44997; Topics: abc1 (kafka.server.KafkaApis) kafka.admin.AdminOperationException: replication factor: 1 larger than available brokers: 0 at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.assignReplicasToBrokers(AdminUtils.scala:77) at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.createTopic(AdminUtils.scala:236) at kafka.server.KafkaApis$$anonfun$20.apply(KafkaApis.scala:572) at kafka.server.KafkaApis$$anonfun$20.apply(KafkaApis.scala:555) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$map$1.apply(TraversableLike.scala:245) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$$anonfun$map$1.apply(TraversableLike.scala:245) at scala.collection.immutable.Set$Set1.foreach(Set.scala:79) at scala.collection.TraversableLike$class.map(TraversableLike.scala:245) at scala.collection.AbstractSet.scala$collection$SetLike$$super$map(Set.scala:47) at scala.collection.SetLike$class.map(SetLike.scala:92) at scala.collection.AbstractSet.map(Set.scala:47) at kafka.server.KafkaApis.getTopicMetadata(KafkaApis.scala:555) at kafka.server.KafkaApis.handleTopicMetadataRequest(KafkaApis.scala:624) at kafka.server.KafkaApis.handle(KafkaApis.scala:71) at kafka.server.KafkaRequestHandler.run(KafkaRequestHandler.scala:60) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) I am trying to delete the topic (with delete.topic.enable=true), so when I do bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic abc1 on kafka I can see all the INFO related to the topic been deleted. But if I check the list of topics the topic is still listed and if I restart kafka I get the same exception. Ideas? Thanks
