Hi Karan, The other broker config that plays a role here is "log.retention.check.interval.ms". For a low log retention time like in your example if this broker config value is much higher, then the broker doesn't delete old logs regular enough.

I've Kafka 0.10 installed. I tried setting the parameter of the topic as shown below -> $KAFKA10_HOME/bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2161 --alter --topic mmtopic6 --config retention.ms=1000 I was expecting to have the data purged in about a min or so .. however, i dont see that happening .. any ideas on what needs to be done ?
