Umesh Chaudhary commented on KAFKA-4142:
----------------------------------------
[~cmhillerman], Did you compare the size of both files which you see the date
modified changed but are having same name?
>From the doc I see:
the log is cleaned by recopying each log segment but omitting any key that
appears in the offset map with a higher offset than what is found in the
segment (i.e. messages with a key that appears in the dirty section of the log).
I believe when you will compare the size of both files, you will find some
messages are cleaned based on retention policy.
> Log files in /data dir date modified keeps being updated?

> Key: KAFKA-4142
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4142
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Environment: CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
> uname -a
> Linux 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 31 21:57:07 UTC 2016 x86_64
> x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
> Reporter: Clint Hillerman
> Priority: Minor
>
> The date modified of the kafka logs (the main ones specified by logs.dirs in
> the config) keep getting updated and set to the exact same time.
> For example:
> Say I had two log and index files ( date modified - file name):
> 20160901:10:00:01 - 0001.log
> 20160901:10:00:01 -0001.index
> 20160902:10:00:01 -0002.log
> 20160902:10:00:01 -0002.index
> Later I notice the logs are getting way to old for the retention time. I then
> go look at the log dir and I see this:
> 20160903:10:00:01 - 0001.log
> 2016090310:00:01 -0001.index
> 20160903:10:00:01 -0002.log
> 20160903:10:00:01 -0002.index
> 20160903:10:00:01 -0003.log
> 20160903:10:00:01 -0003.index
> 20160904:10:00:01 -0004.log
> 20160904:10:00:01 -0004.index
> The first two log files had there date modified moved forward for some
> reason. They were updated from 0901 and 0902 to 0903.
> It seems to happen periodically. The new logs that kafka writes out have the
> correct time stamp.
> This causes the logs to not be deleted. Right now I just touch the log files
> to an older date and they are deleted right away.
> Any help would be appreciated. Also, I'll explain the problem better if this
> doesn't make sense.
> Thanks,
