Topic deletion feature

[vdweij]

I very much like K(afka)cat for development and ad-hoc kafka related work. Frequently I want to verify stuff on a temporary topic. Given the proper access rights creating comes out of the box by specifying a non-existing topic. This is also a side effect when there is a typo in the topic name.

It would be great if the possibility of deleting a topic would also be available. Perhaps introduce a D-flag as a delete operation, like:

$ kcat -b mybroker -t topic_to_delete -D

Possibly asking for confirmation...
