Let's say we have a compacted topic (log.cleanup.policy=compact) where lot of updates happen for relatively small set of keys. My question is when does the compaction happen.
In memtable , when a new update comes for an already existing key in memtable , the value is simple replaced. or, all the updates are associated with a offset , later the memtable is spilled to disk and the deletion happens during compaction phase. thanks, Rahul
