ASF GitHub Bot commented on KAFKA-1489: --------------------------------------- GitHub user bendrees opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1348 KAFKA-1489: Global threshold on data retention size Implemented a "log retention policy" based on keeping a certain percentage of disk space free. In dynamic situations where topics are added in unpredictable ways, the other log retention parameters are not entirely sufficient to prevent out-of-disk conditions from occurring. The new log.retention.disk.usage.percent parameter provides this guarantee. It is applied after all the other retention parameters are applied, at the end of each log cleanup cycle. Oldest segments (across all topics) are pruned until usage falls below this percentage of each disk's capacity. The default value is 100, which effectively disables the feature. This is my original work and I license the work to the project under the project's open source license. @junrao, @jkreps, @gwenshap You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/bendrees/kafka KAFKA-1489 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1348.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #1348 ---- commit 26ef1c5e4a432421f9c1dbdac84d19de1d0ccf54 Author: Ben Drees <ben.dr...@zenti.com> Date: 2016-05-09T06:29:48Z Implemented a "log retention policy" based on keeping a certain percentage of disk space free.

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 one Kafka log data directory can take up. > See also: > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201406.mbox/browser > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201311.mbox/%3c20131107015125.gc9...@jkoshy-ld.linkedin.biz%3E -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
