candlerb opened a new issue #5554: pulsar-admin topics delete with multiple topics URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/5554 **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** To clean up after running test suite, I have a bunch of old topics that need deleting. ``` $ ../../bin/pulsar-admin topics list public/default "persistent://public/default/my-python-test-producer-deduplication-1572861915.695249" "persistent://public/default/partitioned_topic_name_test-partition-1" "persistent://public/default/partitioned_topic_name_test-partition-2" "persistent://public/default/my-v2-topic-producer-consumer" "persistent://public/default/partitioned_topic_name_test-partition-0" "persistent://public/default/my-avro-python-topic" ... etc ``` **Describe the solution you'd like** Option 1: Allow topic wildcard matches, like subscription wildcards ``` $ ../../bin/pulsar-admin topics delete 'my-python-topic-*' 10:11:46.858 [AsyncHttpClient-5-1] WARN org.apache.pulsar.client.admin.internal.BaseResource - [http://localhost:8080/admin/v2/persistent/public/default/my-python-topic-*?force=false] Failed to perform http delete request: javax.ws.rs.NotFoundException: HTTP 404 Not Found ``` Option 2: Allow `topics delete` to accept more than one topic on the command line. Currently it enforces a single topic: ``` $ ../../bin/pulsar-admin topics delete "persistent://public/default/my-python-topics-consumer-1-partition-0" "persistent://public/default/my-python-topics-consumer-3-partition-2" "persistent://public/default/my-python-topics-consumer-3-partition-3" Need to provide just 1 parameter ``` **Describe alternatives you've considered** Very slow workaround (since pulsar-admin has 4-5 second Java startup overhead per invocation): ``` ../../bin/pulsar-admin topics list public/default | sed 's/"//g' | while read a; do echo "$a"; ../../bin/pulsar-admin topics delete "$a"; done ``` **Additional context** N/A
