             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.
