> Hello,
> We have a Kafka 0.11.xx version setup.

> So one topic in particular,is now having log segments which is

> I had a look at our server.properties file but couldnot find a property

> So we are assuming Kafka will take the default value for such properties.
> So based on the default value of offset.retention.minutes property which

> So my question is ,is it safe to have that consumer_offset-7 topic (having

> problem in production environment.
> If deleting the topics is not a safe implementation,can you suggest a
