Hello All, Does kafka support compressing storage logs stored in log dir? What does compression.type=(gzip/snappy) in server.properties do?
Based on documents I am assuming that it will compress the logs on local file system. I ran a quick experiment and found that my logs stored on local disk are not getting compressed. Size of data stored on disk is same with or without compression. I am using following configuration properties in server.properties config file. compression.type=gzip compressed.topics="gzip-topic" Thanks for reading and appreciate any responses. Thanks, R P
