Matthias J. Sax updated KAFKA-7781:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
Using AdminClient#alterConfigs, topic _retention.ms_ property can be assigned 
to a value less than -1. This leads to inconsistency while describing the topic 
configuration. We should not allow values less than -1. In server.properties, 
if _log.retention.ms_ configured to a value less than zero, it's 
[set|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/9295444d48eb057900ef09f1176e34b37331f60b/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/KafkaConfig.scala#L1320]
 as -1.

This doesn't create any issue in log segment deletion, as the 
[condition|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/9295444d48eb057900ef09f1176e34b37331f60b/core/src/main/scala/kafka/log/Log.scala#L1466]
 for infinite log retention checks for value less than zero. To maintain 
consistency, we should add the validation check.
