Thanks Foo, As a follow up, since I was considering that, if I originally published messages under the topic 'test' with retention set to something like 168 hours, successfully published some amount of messages to that topic (which are then persisted on disk), and then changed the retention.ms as you suggested, would that also affect the files that had been previously configured to be retained for 168 hours? Thanks again!
