-------------------------------------
I'll work this one if there are no objections.
> Global threshold on data retention size
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1489
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: log
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Andras Sereny
> Assignee: Jay Kreps
> Labels: newbie
>
> Currently, Kafka has per topic settings to control the size of one single log
> (log.retention.bytes). With lots of topics of different volume and as they
> grow in number, it could become tedious to maintain topic level settings
> applying to a single log.
> Often, a chunk of disk space is dedicated to Kafka that hosts all logs
> stored, so it'd make sense to have a configurable threshold to control how
> much space *all* data in Kafka can take up.
