how to drop/rename a topic

Hello,

I have the following questions regarding topic management.

1. how to drop a topic? does deleting the file directory do the job? is
there any tool to delete a topic?
2. how to rename a topic?  rename the file directory?

Thanks,

-Xiaoyu

Currently, we don't have the direct support to do this. You will need to
change/delete the directory on disk and restart the broker.
