Mohamed Aashif updated KAFKA-13085:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
This is to confirm the behaviour of 
[retention.ms|https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#topicconfigs_retention.ms].

According to the kafka doc, a log segment is kept undeleted until the *_Largest 
timestamp_* of the offsets in that segment.

Initially, we thought that the _*Largest timestamp*_ is considered from the 
created time of the record. But, it is considered from the timestamp of the 
{_}ProducerRecord{_}, which can be entered manually.

We suspect if this is intentional, as the log segment can be undeleted forever 
if the timestamp of a far future time is given.

Please clarify.
