Raul Castro Fernandez commented on KAFKA-179:
---------------------------------------------

Just tried it. It seems that it is already fixed. After creating a couple of 
topics and reinitialising the brokers a couple of times, the mtime of the log 
and index files does not change.

> Log files always touched when broker is bounced

> It looks like the latest log segment is always touched when the broker upon 
> start-up regardless of whether it has corrupt data or not, which fudges the 
> segment's mtime. Minor issue, but I found it a bit misleading when trying to 
> verify a log cleanup setting in production. I think it should be as simple as 
> adding a guard in FileMessageSet's recover method to skip truncate if 
> validUpTo == the length of the segment. Will test this later.
