Joel Koshy commented on KAFKA-1379: ----------------------------------- We have been thinking through various alternatives and this is included in a proposal here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Enriched+Message+Metadata > Partition reassignment resets clock for time-based retention > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1379 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1379 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Joel Koshy > > Since retention is driven off mod-times reassigned partitions will result in > data that has been on a leader to be retained for another full retention > cycle. E.g., if retention is seven days and you reassign partitions on the > sixth day then those partitions will remain on the replicas for another > seven days. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
