See the Kafka documentation for full
details on the topic configs. It is
supported only in combination with --
create. (To alter topic
configurations, the kafka-configs
tool can be used.)
--create Create a new topic.
--delete Delete a topic.
--delete-config <String: name> This option is no longer supported and
has been deprecated since 4.0
--describe List details for the given topics.
--exclude-internal Exclude internal topics when listing
or describing topics. By default,
the internal topics are included.
--help Print usage information.
--if-exists If set when altering or deleting or
describing topics, the action will
only execute if the topic exists.
--if-not-exists If set when creating topics, the
create request will not fail if the
topic already exists, but the
request will still be sent.
--list List all available topics.
--partition-size-limit-per-response The maximum partition size to be
<Integer: maximum number of included in one
partitions per response> DescribeTopicPartitions response.
--partitions <Integer: # of partitions> The number of partitions for the topic
being created or altered. If not
supplied with --create, the topic
uses the cluster default. (WARNING:
If partitions are increased for a
topic that has a key, the partition
logic or ordering of the messages
will be affected).
--replica-assignment <String: A list of manual partition-to-broker
broker_id_for_part1_replica1 : assignments for the topic being
broker_id_for_part1_replica2 , created or altered.
broker_id_for_part2_replica1 :
broker_id_for_part2_replica2 , ...>
--replication-factor <Integer: The replication factor for each
replication factor> partition in the topic being
created. If not supplied, the topic
uses the cluster default.
--topic <String: topic> The topic to create, alter, describe
or delete. It also accepts a regular
expression, except for --create
option.
--topic-id <String: topic-id> The topic-id to describe.
--topics-with-overrides If set when describing topics, only
show topics that have overridden
configs.
--unavailable-partitions If set when describing topics, only
show partitions whose leader is not
available.
--under-min-isr-partitions If set when describing topics, only
show partitions whose isr count is
less than the configured minimum.
--under-replicated-partitions If set when describing topics, only
show under-replicated partitions.
--version Display Kafka version.
