Hi all, We had configured our topics with an incorrect retention.ms of 8640000. With this, we observed the consumers are unable to receive any data after approximate 2.4 hours; this ties in to 8640000/1000/60/60.
Later we altered the retention.ms to 86400000 (an extra 0), but the consumers are still unable to receive any data after approximate 2.4 hours. Here is the command we used: bin/kafka-topics.sh --alter --zookeeper <ZKHost:port> --topic <topic name> --config retention.ms=86400000 I realize that there maybe multiple reasons outside of retention.ms due to which consumers are not receiving data, but I am interested in knowing if : 1. Is there anywhere else that the retention.ms configuration has to be altered ? 2. Alter retention.ms does not work and maybe the topics have to be deleted and re-created with the correct configuration ? Appreciate your feedback on this. Regards, Saurav
