Vahid Hashemian commented on KAFKA-7037:
----------------------------------------
The reason is the {{--topic}} option also accepts regular expressions. In your
example `+` is a regex symbol and the {{–delete --topic test+topic}} would
delete topics {{testtopic}}, {{testttopic}}, {{testtttopic}}, etc. To escape
regular expression, the topic name should be places in double quotes, and regex
symbols should be prefixed with a {{\}}.
> delete topic command replaces '+' from the topic name which leads incorrect
> topic deletion
