We plan to stop using a particular Kafka topic running on a certain subset of a 0.82x cluster. This topic is served by 9 brokers (leaders + replicas) and these 9 brokers have no other topics on them.
Once we have stopped sending and consuming traffic from this topic (and hence the 9 brokers) what is the best way to delete the topic and shut them down? Will it suffice to shut down the brokers since they are not servicing traffic from any other topic? Thanks, Rajiv
