Description
Old junk topics tend to accumulate over time. Code may migrate to use new topics leaving the old ones orphaned. Likewise there are some use cases for temporary transient topics. It would be good to have a tool that could delete any topic that had not been written to in a configurable period of time and had no active consumer groups. Something like
./bin/delete-unused-topics.sh --last-write [date] --zookeeper [zk_connect]
This requires API support to get the last update time. I think it may be possible to do this through the OffsetRequest now?
