Kafka DeleteTopics Changelog — Protocol Version History

What is DeleteTopics?

Permanently removes topics and their data via kafka-topics.sh --delete. Returns TOPIC_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED if the caller lacks DELETE permission; in clusters with auto.create.topics.enable=false, deleting a topic that a consumer references causes UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION until reconfiguration.
