Hi Elias, You can set compaction on a per topic basis while leaving "log.cleanup.policy=delete" as the default on the broker. See "Topic-level configuration" here: http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#brokerconfigs
An example usage of the command line tools to do this is: bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --alter --topic my-topic --config cleanup.policy=compact Thanks, Grant On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 1:48 PM, Elias K <mariguanit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > This is my first post here so please bear with me. > > I would like to have compaction enabled in some topics, but in others have > purge after x amount of days. > > I did some searches and I couldn't find anything related to this and it > appears that the compaction is enabled globally for all topics. > > Thanks for all the information > Elias > -- Grant Henke Software Engineer | Cloudera gr...@cloudera.com | twitter.com/gchenke | linkedin.com/in/granthenke
