unable to delete a topic
Try as I might I've found it impossible to delete a topic in kafka 0.9.0.
I set delete.topic.enable in config.properties.
I tried kafka-topics.sh with the delete command .I responds with: "topic marked for deletetion" but after a 30 minute wait the topic was till there.
Then I stopped kafka and wiped out the kafka-logs/<the-topic>*. I logged on to zookeepr and did "rmr /brokers/topics/<the-topic>. The zookeeper reported the topis as gone. But when I bring kafka back up, out of nowhere the topics pop up again.

Thanks. Setting auto.create.topics.enable=false made the difference.

What I ended up doing, after having similar issues your having, was:
- stop all the brokers
- rm -rf all the topic data across the brokers
- delete the topic node in ZK
- set auto.create.topics.enable=false in the server.properties
- start the brokers up again
The topic stayed deleted this way. In my case the topic was misconfigured
so I created it again and then did a rolling restart after setting
auto.create.topics.enable back to true.
I'm wondering if I have a rogue service in my environment publishing to the
topic in question.
