Mohamed Aashif created KAFKA-13084: -------------------------------------- Summary: Offsets clean up based on largest Timestamp in a Log segment Key: KAFKA-13084 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13084 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: config Reporter: Mohamed Aashif
This is to confirm the behaviour of [retention.ms|https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#topicconfigs_retention.ms]. On observation, a log segment is kept undeleted until the _*Largest timestamp*_ of the offsets in that segment. Initially, we thought that the _*Largest timestamp* **_ is the considered from the created time of the record. But, it is considered from the timestamp of the _ProducerRecord,_ which can be entered manually. We suspect if this is intentional, as the log segment can be undeleted forever if the timestamp of a far future time is given.
