---------------------------------------
[~peeyushb] : Yes and that is correct behavior.

> ​Here is a sample feed xml.
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
> <feed name="rawEmailFeed" description="Raw customer email feed"
> xmlns="uri:falcon:feed:0.1">
> <tags>externalSystem=USWestEmailServers</tags>
> <groups>churnAnalysisDataPipeline</groups>
> <frequency>hours(1)</frequency>
> <timezone>UTC</timezone>
> <late-arrival cut-off="hours(1)"/>
> <clusters>
> <cluster name="primaryCluster" type="source">
> <validity start="2015-10-30T01:00Z" end="2015-10-30T10:00Z"/>
> <retention limit="hours(10)" action="delete"/>
> </cluster>
> </clusters>
> <locations>
> <location type="data"
> path="/user/ambari-qa/falcon/demo/primary/input/enron/${YEAR}-${MONTH}-${DAY}-${HOUR}"/>
> <location type="stats" path="/"/>
> <location type="meta" path="/"/>
> </locations>
> <ACL owner="ambari-qa" group="users" permission="0x755"/>
> <schema location="/none" provider="/none"/>
> </feed>
> {code}
> In the above example, the validity time is "the time interval when the feed
> is valid on this cluster". After the validity time ends, falcon is not
> expected to perform any operations on the feed. The retention job for this
> feed will be run from validity start time up to validity end time, and will
> delete any feed instances older than 10 hours. Some instances of Feed will
> never be deleted. In the above example, feed instances at between
> 2015-10-30T00:00Z and 2015-10-30T10:00Z will never be deleted.
> Ideally, the retention coordinator job should run from "validity start time"
> up to "validity end time + retention age limit" to ensure all instances are
> handled.
