Mohamed Aashif updated KAFKA-13085:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: log cleaner
> Offsets clean up based on largest Timestamp in a Log segment
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-13085
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13085
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: config, log cleaner
> Reporter: Mohamed Aashif
> Priority: Major
>
> 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 the 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.
