Delete Kafka topic and data ¶
Warning
Permanent deletes are irreversible. Do this only as a step to completely remove your data.
When you want to delete a Kafka topic and it's data, the Topic resource in Nais needs to be annotated.
Enable data deletion ¶
Start with annotating the Topic resource with kafka.nais.io/removeDataWhenResourceIsDeleted=true using kubectl annotate.
bash
kubectl annotate topic <TOPIC> --namespace=<MY-TEAM> --context=<MY-CLUSTER> kafka.nais.io/removeDataWhenResourceIsDeleted=trueWhen this annotation is in place, deleting the topic resource from Kubernetes will also delete the Kafka topic and all of its data.
Delete the topic resource ¶
bash
kubectl delete topic <TOPIC> --namespace=<MY-TEAM> --context=<MY-CLUSTER>Remember to delete the Topic resource from your Git repository.
