Jun Rao created KAFKA-14321: ------------------------------- Summary: max.compaction.lag.ms is not enforced accurately Key: KAFKA-14321 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14321 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jun Rao
Compaction only cleans data in non-active segments. When max.compaction.lag.ms is set, we use it to set segment.ms to force segment rolling by time. However, the current implementation of time-based segment roll is not precise. It only rolls a segment if the new record's timestamp differs from the timestamp of the first record in the segment by more than segment.ms. If we have a bunch of records appended within segment.ms and then stop producing new records, all those records could remain in the active segments forever, which prevents the records to be cleaned. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
