Lee Dongjin commented on KAFKA-7782:
------------------------------------
[~guozhang] [~hachikuji] Is this a bug, or configuring cleanup policy for
`__consumer_offsets` should not be allowed? In fact, I found [a
case|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42546501/the-retention-period-for-offset-topic-of-kafka]
which requires this feature.
If it is a bug, it seems like tagged with `needs-kip` with later target
version. Could you have a look?

> Hi,
> For offsets topic there is no option to change the log cleanup policy from
> compact to delete because it is set hard-coded in code here:
> [https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/coordinator/group/GroupCoordinator.scala#L68]
> The only way to override it is to alter the topic at runtime which required
> to check the settings and set it after every restart of Kafka.
> I am suggesting to configure it via properties with a default value of
> "compact"
