Hi I am new to kafka and need to pick up admin responsibilities for our brokers.
I am using kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0. I want to set up my broker so that topics that are created automatically have a SLA of 1 hr. I.E. I want the data to removed after 1 hr. I added the following to my server.properties files and restarted the broker retention.ms=3600000 I wrote some test code that published to a topic aedwip3¹. I did not create the topic in advance. The aedwip3 topic does not have the expected default values $ bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper foo.com:2181 --topic aedwip3 Topic:aedwip3 PartitionCount:1 ReplicationFactor:1 Configs: Topic: aedwip3 Partition: 0 Leader: 0 Replicas: 0 Isr: 0 $ If I use the command line I can explicitly set the TTL value (this topic was altered when we where still using kafka_2.10-0.8.2.1 kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper foo.com:2181 -alter --topic footest --config retention.ms=3600000 $ bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper foo.com:2181 --topic footest Topic:footest PartitionCount:1 ReplicationFactor:1 Configs:retention.ms=3600000 Topic: footest Partition: 0 Leader: 0 Replicas: 0 Isr: 0 $ Any idea what my mistake is? Thanks in advance Andy
