Jun Rao created KAFKA-4529: ------------------------------ Summary: tombstone may be removed earlier than it should Key: KAFKA-4529 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4529 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.10.1.0 Reporter: Jun Rao Fix For: 0.10.1.1
As part of KIP-33, we introduced a regression on how tombstone is removed in a compacted topic. We want to delay the removal of a tombstone to avoid the case that a reader first reads a non-tombstone message on a key and then doesn't see the tombstone for the key because it's deleted too quickly. So, a tombstone is supposed to only be removed from a compacted topic after the tombstone is part of the cleaned portion of the log after delete.retention.ms. Before KIP-33, deleteHorizonMs in LogCleaner is calculated based on the last modified time, which is monotonically increasing from old to new segments. With KIP-33, deleteHorizonMs is calculated based on the message timestamp, which is not necessarily monotonically increasing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
