Matthias J. Sax updated KAFKA-8411: ----------------------------------- Priority: Minor (was: Major) > Option to keep tombstones forever in compacted logs > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-8411 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8411 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: log cleaner > Reporter: Lukas Welte > Priority: Minor > > Log compaction is great to balance between having all data in a topic and > reducing the amount of messages in a topic. > However the delete tombstones are cleaned after a certain period. For some > use cases we would really like to keep the latest message of each key, which > means also the tombstone of that ID should be kept forever. > An option to configure _delete.retention.ms_ to e.g. _-1_ to enable this > functionality would be great. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
