[~vahid] I may still see topics ??marked for deletion?? when using Kafka 0.10.2.x 

however deletion is asynchronous and usually, with topic deletion enabled on the broker, running the {{ --list }} command after a {{--delete --topic}} will not show anything (i.e topic is gone)

> The topic deletion works like this in 0.10.2.0:
> # {{bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties}}
> # {{bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties}} (uses default {{server.properties}})
> # {{bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --create --topic test --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1}} (creates the topic {{test}})
> # {{bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --list}} (returns {{test}})
> # {{bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic test}} (reports {{Topic test is marked for deletion. Note: This will have no impact if delete.topic.enable is not set to true.}})
> # {{bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --list}} (returns {{test}})
> Previously, the last command above returned {{test - marked for deletion}}, which matched the output statement of the {{--delete}} topic command.
> Continuing with the above scenario,
> # stop the broker
> # add the broker config {{delete.topic.enable=true}} in the config file
> # {{bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties}} (this does not remove the topic {{test}}, as if the topic was never marked for deletion).
> # {{bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic test}} (reports {{Topic test is marked for deletion. Note: This will have no impact if delete.topic.enable is not set to true.}})
> # {{bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --list}} (returns no topics).
> It seems that the "marked for deletion" state for topics no longer exists.
> I opened this JIRA so I can get a confirmation on the expected topic deletion behavior, because in any case, I think the user experience could be improved (either there is a bug in the code, or the command's output statement is misleading).
