Hello,
I've found that stopping kafka, deleting everything out of the
kafka-logs directory, then restarting kafka works fine. I've done this
on a development VM without any issues. However, if there's a
better/easier way, I'd love to know about it as well.

Hi folks,
I'm hunting around on the kafka site and haven't managed to figure out
whether or not there are tools to allow one to safely delete the
/tmp/kafka-logs files. Are there tools outside the retention policy?
I'm running tests on a somewhat limited machine, and I'd like to
figure out a way to cleanly zero everything out after a test run. It
looks as though kafka is keeping a filehandle open for all the logs,
and it looks as though it's keeping track of offsets in zookeeper, so
I figure it isn't safe to simply delete the files!
