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. was: This is to confirm the behaviour of [retention.ms|https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#topicconfigs_retention.ms].
